Children With Hope – Projected Costs
The below figures are estimates based on information from contacts on the ground in Kenya. The inflation rate in Kenya is exceptionally high and the figures below are estimates.
Vehicle #1: $15,000 PURCHASED (4 wheel drive, reliable vehicle – 2000 Model Year)
Vehilce #2: $15,000 With the second children's home being completed we will be in need of another vehicle soon.
Land for Farming/Eventual Building: $18,500 for 6 acres outside of Eldoret PURCHASED. Initially, this land will be used for farming, chickens, fruit trees, trees for lumber, etc. The land is critical for Children With Hope’s goal of becoming a “self-sufficient” Children’s Home.
Initial House: $150,000 PURCHASED. We have been blessed with a wonderful house in Eldoret that houses the American Administrators and two of their children, as well as several Kenyan children.
Second Home: $60,000 ALMOST COMPLETED! This home will be built directly behind the initial house purchased. The initial house is on a large lot that allows us to build a second house without purchasing additional property. This home will house at least 20 orphans as well as American &/or Kenyan house parents.

Other construction projects as funds allow (Square footage and costs are all only estimates)
Christian School: $60,000 for estimated 1,500 square feet based on $40 per square foot (plus Inflation, depending on timing)
Medical Clinic: $40,000 for estimated 1,000 square feet based on $40 per square foot (plus inflation, depending on timing) Plans include a clinic to care for the needs of the orphans and depending on funds, the clinic may eventually also be able to assist those in the community beyond the orphans.
Vocational Training Center: $32,000 for estimated 800 square feet based on $40 per square foot (plus inflation, depending on timing) One of Children With Hope’s objectives is to have practical hands on training for the orphans to learn a trade. One goal is that each child will gain the skills necessary to earn a living upon high school/college graduation.
Church: $40,000 for estimated 1,000 square feet based on $40 per square foot (plus inflation, depending on timing) This would allow for an even stronger tie with a local church and pastor.
Facility to house visiting workers/short term missionaries: $32,000 for estimated 800 square feet based on $40 per square foot (plus inflation, depending on timing) Another goal of CWH is to establish a house or dorm type facility to house short term workers who wish to visit and assist at the Home.
