In the process of sharing the vision of Daughters of the King Orphanage, I have had to often confront the question of why only having 20 girls in our home. Living in a society that is focused on numbers, there is a temptation to want to get as many children in an orphanage as possible.
In starting an orphanage there are two roads one can take, reaching a large number of children, clothing and feeding them: yet, with a large number there will be a lack of quality of attention and individualized learning that the orphans will receive. I have heard of girls aging out of state-run homes accepting the first minimum wage job they can find because of their lack of skills. I have also heard quite a few testimonies of girls in these larger homes that end up with the first guy who promises to take care of them and end up with husbands that mistreat them.
Our vision at Daughters of the King is to prepare the girls for a successful future where they are able to make an impact in their environment as adults and in the process receive an abundance of love and quality care.
These girls will not only be treated as if they were our own daughters, but also daughters of our Lord, and as His disciples. They will be raised in a loving environment filled with knowledge of God’s Word, receiving social, leadership, moral training as well as skills training, everything that will help them make an impact in their generation.
Yet, there is still the burden of the huge number of orphans in Bolivia. To help make an impact in a larger number of children, it is also part of our vision to help other orphanages in the quality of care they give to their children. All of our staff training, development material, and our time for counseling is available to any orphanage director in Bolivia. Our desire is to develop a “model” orphanage that others can reproduce.
All of this may sound wonderful, but we won’t be able to start Daughters of the King Orphanage until we reach the minimum finances required by Social Services. Please join our Daughters of the King family by becoming a monthly financial partner. Together we will transform the lives of girls in Bolivia. Just $20 or more a month will be a much needed resource to make the vision of Daughters of the King Orphanage a reality.
