Since the establishment of Fountain of Peace Children’s Foundation (FOP) , we have always sought to work closely with the local community. We have cooperated together in developing land purchased for FOP usage, in so doing creating local employment opportunities.
Visitors from both the UK and New Zealand have also been able to undertake community projects to provide better living conditions for those in the local area. For example, rebuilding of a tumbledown home for an aged widow; arranging and funding life transforming surgery for a young village lad; building a kitchen and toilet block for an aged villager; building new homes for 2 local people.
Education in the region has been transformed through the establishment of the nursery, primary and secondary school facilities available to all young people in the area. Our vision takes that much further in the future, as our intention is to develop vocational training opportunities.
FOP has also worked to convert old and polluted water sources into 19 fit-for-purpose community wells, providing thousands of local people with clean water. This has impacted enormously on general health and also school attendance.
Working parties from both countries are occupied in seeking to better the lives of local folk. This is a vital part of our Christian witness.
