Why Homes?

The mission of Ten Thousand Homes is based on the principles of “HOME.”  We recognize that homes are the backbone of a strong community.  For orphans and vulnerable children, the nurturing and stability found in a home is especially critical.  Providing Home is more than putting children in a house.  It is creating that sense of belonging that everyone needs and desires.  It is a truth we can all embrace-we all want to know that we are loved.

We are ordinary people stepping out of our ordinary lives to respond to the orphan crisis in Africa.  Our dream is to see people from every walk of life working together to provide HOME for Africa’s orphans and to end the orphan crisis.  This vision is too large for us alone; we believe that everyone has a role to play.  We invite you to come see for yourself and experience both the beauty and the heartbreak in the communities we serve.
