Educare-Africa Center

Why did we decide to establish this Center?
In 2007, two rooms in the house that we have been using for the past four years were already rented when we arrived so we were forced to use a larger parlor, which was without ceiling, very drafty and had many leaks. That was a hint that we needed to look for our own place.

What do we plan for the Center?
- Educare-Africa office, of course
- Public library with public internet services
- A dormitory for 12 outstanding female students
- Computer lab for teaching students, teachers and th epublic
- Several guest rooms
- Housekeeper, who will live on the ground and take care of things, work on the farm, garden, etc. with our students' assistance. Couple dogs for security and great company.
- Farm, vegetable garden, fruit trees, poultry, some animals to raise food and generate some funds to keep the place sustainable;

Who will benefit?
1) Hundreds of students, teachers, community,
2) Our former students who may be teaching at the computer lab;
