We have constructed the first two of five houses on our land at Porsea and now have further housing under way that will enable us to assist up to 50 children on site.

Our plans are to build functional facilities incorporating living, recreational & educational areas.

Each house will accommodate up to 20 disadvantaged children and 1 or 2 carers. The children are grouped according to their age & gender with allowances made to keep young children in their family units.

The children are be cared for by an Indonesian carer.

Our aim is to extend the construction of the Child and Family Development Centre @ PORSEA, Sumatra (Fig 3.) to be able to care for approximately 80 children in a village like atmosphere.
