Support Pastor Mondji's Orphanage Tabitha House in Togo

Donation protected
Hello, our names are Bill Kennedy and Geoff Mahoney and we are personally committed and actively trying to raise desperately needed financial support for our good friend Pastor Mondji Winner’s Orphanage (Tabitha House) located in Togo, Lome, Africa. We were fortunate to have just recently visited our friend Pastor Winner and Tabitha House in Togo, Lome on a mission trip and saw everything first hand and the needs of the children and the orphanage.

  • The orphanage currently has 48 orphaned children, ages 5-14, that reside full-time under the care of Pastor Winner and his staff of 10 volunteer workers. Tabitha House is 100% dependent on the support and giving of
  • others for even their basic human needs of daily food, cooking oil, clothing, shelter, medical and hygiene, etc., and it is only by God's grace and provision through the giving of others that they survive. They unfortunately lost one child who passed recently due to malaria and the lack of on-hand medicine and money needed for (taxi) transportation to the nearest hospital in time.

Based on the typical 1-2 meals/day that they receive, consisting of mainly rice, spaghetti, beans, peppers, couscous, sardines, and occasionally chicken and fresh bread and juice or milk, it takes about an average of $2,000 - $2,200 per month of food and supplies to nourish the children and the staff. All Donations received will go primarily first to cover the related expenses for the basic needs of the orphans like food supplies, medical, hygienic and clothing.

Importantly to know is the orphanage has NO running water or electricity, and the land they currently live on and the buildings is not their own. They are at the complete mercy of the landlord as to how long they may be allowed to stay there. Their only source of water is a nearby stream of dirty water that they must use to bathe, wash clothes, and drink from. This is why we need to raise funds to purchase their own private property to build and expand on, including their own solar-powered well for water. Total funds needed for the private land, building materials for dormitories, kitchen, and chapel and a solar well including labor are about $38,000 - $40,000 USD.

Lastly, Tabitha House staff are all volunteers and they work tirelessly providing love and support for the orphan children, so we are also trying to raise some amount of funds to provide routine compensation for them to help them and their own families. The estimated goal is

On behalf of Pastor Mondji, we are asking, praying, and believing that we can raise enough money to bless the orphanage with the needs stated.

May the Lord bless you as you give.
