Our Homes

Our homes house 150 children and young adults and are the core of the big family of AOGE. Our main office and our school are located in the same area of the city as all of our homes.

Each home operates like an ordinary family. Staff are hired to help with cooking and cleaning, but all the girls and boys also contribute according to their age and developmental level. Each home has live-in leaders that function as the parents. We developed a system where older children become big sisters or big brothers and help in caring for the younger ones.

The concept of a family home has been a wonderful resource in restoring a sense of belonging, dignity, and self-worth. The homes operate with a rhythm of simplicity and fellowship. Care, restoration, and hope for a future are available to everyone.

As all families do, our homes experience struggles at times with siblings not always getting along, and tasks not always being completed promptly. We see problems as opportunities to teach children respect, responsibility and how to have fun. We see smiles and hear laughter as the children sing, dance and play together.

Redemption

Seeing redemption everyday

Each home has its characteristics and its peculiarities. We now present to you each one of them:

– Pishon Home

Our original home remains and is now called the “Pishon Home”. Many of the girls who were there at the beginning helped pioneer the vision of AOGE and are now in leadership positions.

– Sweet Home

“Sweet Home” is very large. In fact it is a merger of two homes. Located at the foot of a mountain there is a beautiful view from the rooftop. The home accommodates more than 50 girls!

– Shital Chahari Home

“Shital Chahari” means Cool Shade. This home is full of dancing and laughter. Here, as in all the other homes, are students and young women employed through the training center or other businesses. Some have testified of the restoration of their life in other nations.

– Reborn Home

“Reborn” is our boys’ home. It’s a noisy home, full of soccer and a lot of love. The boys are very helpful with the daily tasks, like cleaning and cooking. We are raising boys to become strong men!

YOUR SUPPORT IS VITAL!

Would you like to make a difference in an individual life? With $ 100.00 (one hundred dollars) per month or $ 1200.00 (one thousand two hundred) per year you can sponsor a child, youth or a young adult in one of our homes. This amount pays for housing, medical and dental assistance, schooling, clothing, and other expenses related to the homes, (food, staff, electricity, and a 4.17% administrative fee). More people sponsoring children and young adults means that we will be able to welcome more girls and boys into the AOGE family.

Set your sponsorship through the form below. We will contact you with photos and news about the child or young adult you are helping.
