Photos from Mtelo

Some before and after pictures of work completed in several apartments in the etage. The etage is married housing for the students at FATEB. Walls and staircases were painted, plumbing is being replaced to include new toilets and electrical repairs are being done. The last picture is of the men taking a much needed lunch break and rest.
Fresh coat of paint on the walls
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.
As part of the sanitary improvements at FATEB that Mtelo made, 15 non-functioning toilets were replaced with news ones. In addition, three new latrines were constructed, totally nine stalls.
