GRACE TAIT SHELTER PROJECTS:

BUILDING ON THE NEW LAND:

While renting a building in town will get the children out of the more dangerous areas we need something more permanent. Please consider giving towards building on the new land. Once we are done purchasing the land, we will begin constructing our main building. We need $50,000 towards that. We've raised $115 $49,885 to go.

PURCHASE LAND:

We an additional $43,000 to purchase a new property in the middle of the town of Bamenda. Close to all of the schools the children are now attending, and the apprenticeship programs the children are currently involved with. We have raised $28,574.38 of that leaving us with

$14,425.62 to go.

$500 is needed for a new breeding pair of pigs.

They are in need of “fresh” breeding stock.

MORE GRACE TAIT SHELTER PROJECTS:

We have been blessed with a grant to dig two wells on our new property, but we will need several containers to store water. Each container is $300 and another $150 for piping and $500 to build a strong tower to set them on. We would like to put 4 containers up.

We were given a lot of construction equipment. A huge blessing... but much of it wasn't well kept. So we need to repair some before we can use it. There is a brick making machine and bobcat we can use when we purchase the land, but we can also use to make money. We need around $750 to get the machines serviced and running good again.

PROJECTS FOR US PERSONALLY:

We need a new engine for our 1998 Pajero. It has been an amazing vehicle. An engine will cost us $3000.

Praise the Lord the engine was funded and fixed.. We still need to fix the body of the Pajero. That will cost $1200.

We need $1000 to do some much needed repairs on the house we rent in Cameroon

Another need we have is for piping and some cement to put in a public tap near our home. We have been without water for 6 months now. The water company is waiting for a water project being done by "the Chinese" to turn the water back on. It is a 3 year project and they are only 1 year into it. While the rainy season is going water isn't as much of a problem, but in a couple of months the dry season will be here and the people in this quarter will struggle to get good potable water. We need $500 to bring water from a nearby area and build a tap. Why won't the water company do this? Good question....because it's Africa and no one else is complaining so they can get away with it.

Moringa, mango, guava, papaya, banana, avocado and other fruit trees could be planted on the new orphanage properties . For $100 you could provide a healthy source of vitamins/nutrients for many years.

Our GTS truck is aging and in need of repairs. We need $1500 to get it in good working order.

Several of our older children have started higher education or apprenticeship programs. This is such a blessing, but it has more than doubled the cost of providing an education for all of our children. We are so grateful that all of our children are still able to attend school and further their education in spite of the civil war. Please consider partnering with us towards this. Our annual cost of education at the moment is $11,000. We have $4500 with $6500 to go. This is needed by March of 2025. Any gift towards this goes a long way in helping meet this need. Thank you!
