Bethel Babies’ Home (BBH)
In our purpose-built and well-equipped Babies’ Home we can care for approximately 40 children. The babies who come into BBH are sometimes malnourished, frail and in need of round the clock support from our trained nannies. The overall aim of Fountain of Peace Children’s Foundation ( FOP) is to provide children with a loving home and a secure future. Children who come to us are initially supported in our Bethel Babies’ Home, which was opened in 2014.
We work really closely with the local government Health Department to ensure the children receive the right medical attention and additional support to thrive especially in their early years. Alongside the very practical support, they have all the attention and love that is so vital to any child.
Spending the very early years of their lives in BBH, our children are provided with a perfect environment to prepare them to move on to one of our family units later. By the age of two to three years they will have moved into dedicated Family Homes, where a fulltime housemother will care for up to eight children as a family unit. She is assisted by a full-time nanny. This will be the permanent home for each child until adulthood.
As of the end of December 2025, FOP is responsible for the care of 93 children, ranging from 8 weeks old to 13 years of age.
Repeated government inspections have rated FOP to be amongst the very best alternative care givers in the District and an excellent model for others to copy.
Family Homes
Our aim is to provide a loving Christian environment for our children to grow up in and develop their own skills, talents and unique personalities. We are committed to caring for them until they reach independence.
As of January 2026 we have nine family homes fully occupied, each accommodating eight children, with their own Housemother and Nanny; this will be the permanent home for every child until they grow up. There are a further 2 homes currently under construction.
Here the children learn the responsibilities necessary to help provide for their siblings, doing domestic chores and learning to grow their own produce.
Finding caring staff
Our managers, house mothers and nannies play a critical role in the lives of the children we care for, and we take great care in the way we choose them. It’s essential that our children have the consistency of long-term carers. We look for committed Christians who are able to devote their lives to these beautiful children, teaching them the principles of growing up to serve God.
