Education and training is culturally relevant and is centered on developing leaders for their societies. Our basic children's objective is to provide them with the fundamental necessities for a fulfilling life. We provide them with a family structure that includes parental care and education. We train them to become both productive members of society, and leaders in society as well. To accomplish this, we first get children off the streets and into homes where they feel they belong. The love, education, and community we provide is more readily accepted and integrated into their world-view.

The situation at Soweto is deplorable – sewage runs openly down the street, housing consists of shacks created out of rubbish; garbage is everywhere, children in rags run barefoot through the neighborhood, unemployed men loiter in groups, trudging back and forth into the city in their fruitless attempts to find work. BCC is a shining light, a haven in the filth and darkness.

Bethlehem Community Centre supplies primary schooling to 210 children, including both the resident children, and children from the surrounding community.

Number of Children: 210

Description: This is a project to install 70 BioSand Water Filter Systems for the people of Malawi Africa in partnership with Samaritan’s Purse. The BioSand Water Filters produce about one litre of safe water per minute – providing a household of 8-10 people with enough water for their drinking, cooking, cleaning and hygiene needs. The average worldwide cost of a filter is only $100. That includes raw materials, construction, and transportation, monitoring, plus training for recipients about the filter’s operation and about proper hygiene and sanitation practices. For only $100 per filter unit, a North American family can provide a developing-world family with something that none of us should take for granted – safe, drinkable water. These systems will last for years with only minimal maintenance, they require no power source, and can cleanse up to 60 litres of water an hour. The people that are going to use the system are instructed in how to build and install these units. Having them be involved gives them a sense of accomplishment and ownership.
