Last year we started a project with in Swaziland in the Njojane community. This Care Pointe will act as a safe haven for vulnerable and orphaned children. In Swazi culture orphaned children will be taken in by their extended family which puts a burden on their new parents. With an HIV/AIDS infection rate that is around 40% there are many orphaned children in need of care. Our Care Pointe will be a building that will provide a place for children to get a meal, receive tutoring, and most importantly discover how much Jesus loves and cares for them. The best thing about the Care Pointe is that every child is sponsored by someone here at Connection Pointe.

Right now we are in the process of building our Care Pointe! Here are some pictures of the progress!

Step one – Clear the land and start the foundation…
