rehoboth

Believing that God wanted to make a Rehoboth Staffplace for children of the Philippine islands to be nurtured so that they would prosper spiritually and physically in their own land, the late Vernon and Connie Andrews began the work with four girls in 1981.

Today, there are around 70 children being cared for residentially at Rehoboth Children’s Home or in REAP (Rehoboth Educational Assistance Programme) which provides support for local students in elementary, high school or college to finish their education but to remain at home living with their families.

The families supported come from 70% of the population living under the UN poverty line.
