Thanks to successful campaigns in Doi Saket and Wiang Pa Pow, Thailand and in Battambang, Cambodia, we own almost all of the properties being used for our children’s homes in Asia. 

This allows us to invest in these properties and make them ideally suited for our kids, adding learning centers, multipurpose facilities, sports fields and training centers as funding becomes available.

The five homes and our school in Phnom Penh, Cambodia still occupy rented facilities. As a result, we are unable invest significantly in the improvement of these properties. The homes cannot benefit from geographical or financial economies of scale.

We can’t “build to suit,” and we risk losing our leases for each home every two or three years.

In 2012, we hope to raise $200,000 for the purchase of land in Phnom Penh as the first stage of a two-phase capital campaign. After we purchase the land, we will begin raising the $350,000 needed to build out the property.

Inspired by the lyrics of the hymn “Great is Thy Faithfulness,” we’re calling this campaign, Strength for Today, Bright Hope for Tomorrow.

This campaign will significantly enhance the quality of the comprehensive care we provide for the our children today and for countless future generations. To find out how you can help provide both strength and hope for hundreds of children, contact Seth Earnest seth@asiashope.org
