Current Be A HERO Project: This is a project to build a Meeting Hall inside of the Community Center, to be used for children's programs, meetings, church services, a Bible School as well as to house a family in need.
Overview- HARVEST INTERNATIONAL MINISTRY
Harvest International Ministry is located in Bamako, Mali, West Africa. Its founder, Dr. Claudia Wintoch founded Centre Apostolique Malien in 2004, with a mission to bring healing on all four levels to all who need it: spiritually, emotionally, physically and nationally.
Mali: The Situation
Mali, in the heart of West Africa, is the third-poorest nation in the world. The average annual income in Mali is $190, with two thirds of its 13 million people under the poverty line. Half the population is under 15, and life expectancy is a mere 47 years.
The Project: Community Center
The Community Center being built will provide necessary provisions, housing, teaching and mentorship for up to 200 local street orphans and staff. The plan on their 0.75 acres includes a Director's House (completed), a Staff House (completed), a Meeting Hall (present project), an auditorium, meeting rooms, offices, school, dorms, a medical center and a pharmacy as well as a proposed restaurant, internet cafe, bakery, store tailor and a carpenter (future projects).
Construction Plan for the Community Center:
New Proposed Project: Meeting Hall
The meeting hall inside of the Community Center, for the time being, will be used for children's programs, meetings, church services, Bible School as well as to house a family in need. The room will be opened up nightly to offer street children a safe and dry place to spend the night and then to receive breakfast the next morning. Rainy season in Mali begins the end of May, so the plan is to get the project completed as soon as is possible so that children in that area don't have to sleep in the streets that are under water, with their legs getting infected. Once the remainder of the Community Center is completed, this Meeting Hall will be used as a Dining Hall for 200 children and staff.
Estimated cost for completion of the Meeting Hall is $30,000 USD
