Samara Family Care Foundation
1. The story
This children project started officially in Jos (Nigeria) as non-profit mission to adopt vulnerable children. The goal of Samara is to provide the children with family environment, surrounded by matured Christians that love them. The staff team are Samuel Stephen, Samaila Mangu, Nanlop Kromde and Domshak Dickson.
Four potential children for adoption are available and due process is currently conducted.
2. The plan
The plan is to adopt 6 boys and 6 girls following the loss of their parents and loved ones due to Islamic terrorism in the north of Nigeria. They will be fully hosted in a furnished house, with family trained to look after them (House Parents). The children are to attend public school in the neighborhood. The school is aware and prepared for their arrival.
Samara’s target are children from 4 to 9, and few older one until 11 years of age. Following the end of high school or age 18, they can choose to continue pursue tertiary education or even better, a skill school.
3. The importance of Samara mission
A sound Biblical Christian upbringing is the ultimate goal of Samara’s mission. The staff team are all Christian from conservative evangelical backgrounds. The chairman of the center is Rev. Dr. Samaila Mangu Mohammed, with over 40 years of field mission work in Nigeria, Chad and Sudan. He believes in making disciples, eager to seek the Lord and spread the same through mission. As they age, mission opportunities will be available to join using their acquired skills in school but also with years of mentoring from the center.
It is a big deal, because the children are from places where the Bible is not filly translated to their mother tongues, and Christians (and churches) persecuted.
Investing in Samara Family Care Foundation is not just sending money to feed hungry orphans, but producing the next generation of skilled missionaries that will stand out in their mission fields.
To help them become financially independent in the shortest time. Universities in Nigeria could take double the course time to complete due to strikes. Employment chances for graduates are also slim. We also think it is better to have a stable means of providing sustainable future for people than asking for monthly supports.
A skill center can provide people with better opportunities and they can also fund their own university education if they choose that path later.
It also equips them to participate in leadership roles in their local communities since they can pass on their skills to them.
It will take up to 3 years to successfully master all the crafts required to be continue unsupervised. The training will be offered for free for them as the school will also train others for money.
The number of participants to receive the training for free will be grow over time, just as people will need such skills for livelihood.
The orphans under ProCare is just one example of those to benefit from the school. People from various economic backgrounds of economic challenges can benefit by having marketable skills through the school. Currently there are at least two other charities in the region that need help. Instead of always writing newsletters asking for support, this school will provide them with skills to take care of themselves.
Yes! The co-founders of ProCare are a carpenter and computer scientist. One of them already own a small carpentry workshop producing couch sets with customers ordering for them before even starting a set.
In Nigeria, skills are not all that one needs. They also need contacts to help with jobs. ProCare co-founder has established a network of customers and contacts in carpentry and metalwork for over 20 years.
We also have partners running tailoring skills and will be happy to offer a few place for anyone interested among our orphans to attend.
The current workshop is not just small but is on rented place where the landlord is increasing the cost yearly due to how the business is doing well.
A new property and the tools, together with the three skillset tools, and a lodge for learners to stay and learn is seventy thousand US dollars only ($70, 000).
The location will be in a safe place, and the production capacity will be enormous with storage facilities. The cost buying few good desktops for the computer lab is also included.
The budget also includes a good electric generator to power the building and the tools, as power outages in Nigeria are common and could take over 48 hours before they are back again for few hours.
