COMPLETED PROJECT
DINING HALL
New Dining Hall - Completed February 2024
The Girls Orphanage had a dining area with the capacity of 20. Now that the orphanage is at full capacity of 40 girls, we have raised funds to complete a separate building just next to the Girls Home which has capacity for 100. This will free up the current dining space to be converted to space for 10 more girls. We are grateful to the generous supporters in Colorado who have contributed over 20,000 USD to build and furnish this new dining hall. This building was completed and officially dedicated in February 2024. The building is used for dining, education and other activities for both the girls and boys orphanages.
