What is a Church Orphan Home?
Church Orphan Homes are a response to the typical orphanage. Rather than a sprawling, dingy, isolated institution, WBOCI Church Orphan Homes are designed to develop a family atmosphere. The buildings are planned for multiple purposes. As the name suggests, each building serves as both a church and a home. The childrens safety is our main concern, so sleeping and privacy quarters for the children and caretakers are strictly separated from the public areas. Usually, the church operates on the first floor, while the children live upstairs. The public area is not limited to church services. At times, it serves the community as a training center and temporary medical treatment facility.
