The initial dream for Lentsaba was a to locate an idyllic setting where orphaned children, especially those facing the direst risks, could find a nurturing home. These children, susceptible to the harsh realities of abuse and human trafficking, needed a safe space to grow, learn, and eventually evolve into empowered, productive citizens. Lentsaba Farm, almost as if by a stroke of serendipity or divine design, emerged as the miraculous solution to this earnest prayer.

As the project unfolded, each step seemed to be guided by a providential hand, ensuring that the dream didn’t stray from its destined path. A remarkable synergy was ignited when a team of innovative architecture students from Andrews University stepped in. With a blend of creativity and compassion, they developed a comprehensive master plan, laying the groundwork for a community that would offer much more than shelter—it would provide hope, care, and a future.

Building on this solid foundation, a second group of dedicated individuals brought their expertise to the forefront, finalizing the architectural designs for the inaugural homes. These homes are not just structures; they are designed with love and foresight. Each residence features two bedrooms, thoughtfully arranged to comfortably accommodate four children in bunk beds. Additionally, each home includes quarters meticulously designed for a Caregiver or House Aunty, ensuring that the children receive constant support, guidance, and the warmth of a familial bond.

For the children destined to live in Lentsaba Children’s Village, many of whom have been deprived of even the most basic comforts of a safe and sanitary living environment, this initiative promises to offer a transformative experience. Lentsaba is set to become more than just a residence; it’s envisioned as a ‘home sweet home’—a sanctuary where laughter replaces tears, where safety supersedes fear, and where every child is given the wings to soar into a brighter future.

This noble vision is rapidly approaching its realization, accelerated by the generous hearts at the Greater Works Church in Indianapolis. Their substantial donation has been pivotal, ensuring that the construction of these first homes progresses swiftly. As the walls rise and the roofs take shape, Lentsaba Farm stands as a testament to what unity, compassion, and unwavering faith in a shared dream can achieve—a safe haven where every child is cherished and the seeds of a hopeful future are sown with tender care..
