An orphan center in Bangui
Bennett and his wife, Janet, are graduates of FATEB. They run an orphan center in Bangui. At this center they train the students in practical skills, mechanics etc that will be a job and future for them. They also provide Christian training and pay their school fees. They even have one of the orphans graduating from University.
Bennett purchased this land back in 2006 and has a great vision for this place. Currently, they have planted manioc, sorghum, banana trees and mango trees. The produce provides food for the orphans and the extra they sell to support the orphan center.
Mtelo Ministries assisted in providing funding so Bennett could plant teak trees as a boundary around the property so others could not take the land. He has built a medical building on the property. It is not up and running yet. His plan is to build a school on the farm for the orphans and children in the surrounding villages with a Christian worldview. He is mentoring and training many of the orphans to not only take over the farm and agriculture but grooming some to eventually take over the orphan center. Succession planning.
