Self-Help Projects

TEACHING THEM "HOW TO FISH"

"Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day;

Teach a man how to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime."

(Chinese proverb)

 

After establishing a mission project like a children's home, we are trying to find ways and means to help them become self-supporting.

Since rice is a staple in the Philippines, and our children's home uses a lot of rice, we decided to buy a rice field for the Omega Happy Homes, as a first step. This will enable them to grow enough rice for the needs of the home as well as have a surplus which they can sell in the market. This will reduce their dependence on us and generate funds for the operation of the home. In addition, the home has goats, hogs, ducks and chickens.
