Our Vision

EDUCATION and DISCIPLESHIP

 

As a result of operating orphanages and children’s homes in SE Asia for over 19 years, EF has realized that the only way to advance in a third world country is through a good education. Having all our orphanages in rural areas, where access to good schooling is very limited meant that our kids were getting a sub-par education. In SE Asia, it is crucial that children attend good schools since an early age in order to maximize their chances to enter a good university. Consequently, most of our rural graduates, unfortunately, have never come out of the cycle of poverty due to a lack of a quality education. 

With this in mind, EF has decided to begin a new model by starting an orphanage in an urban area of Chiang Mai and sending our students to the best schools possible. We started Mango House in May 2012, and currently have 50 children. In 2015, we finished phase 1 of our building project to meet our growing needs as well as to meet all the legal requirements as an orphanage. In 2018, we finished phase 2 of our building project to build much needed classrooms as well as living areas to increase our capacity to 60 children.

Container project to add classrooms and playrooms (doll room and Lego room)

Our latest project involved using containers to add more classrooms for our growing Mango House School and much needed play area for our kids. We added swings, pull-up bar, a doll room, a Lego room, etc. and used vivid colors to enhance their learning and playing experiences. Covid-19 has limited volunteers to come and teach but our college students were able to temporarily fill the void by all getting involved in teaching everyday. Please continue to pray and partner with us to develop our children to be Kingdom workers!
