In The Meantime - Please Be A Friend

Will you be a friend?

Work is now under way to build the House of Joshua Childen's Home. However the construction project is likely to take around 8 to 9 months to complete (partly depending on how quickly the money comes in and partly on how long the rainy season lasts).

In the meantime our partners in this project, the Lifenet Children's Foundation Inc. want to move forward as soon as possible with providing a home for needy children at risk. To do this they are looking for a house to rent that will be large enough to accomodate about 10 to 12 children plus house parents.

The cost of getting this temporary home up and running is estimated at about £800 (60,000 Philippine pesos) per month, including food, utilities and rent; as well as employing a professional social worker, which is a legal requirement.

We are looking for 80 people to sponsor this at a minimum of £10 per month - to become a 'Friend of the Lifenet Foundation'.

We have set up a separate bank account to receive regular payments. If you have a UK Bank account you can do this by monthly Standing Order. Please visit the House of Joshua page on our website to download the standing order mandate form.
