Why Our Projects Matter

By combining innovation with compassion, our sustainability initiatives ensure that no children’s home must close due to lack of funding. The result is care that is stable, dignified, and hope-filled.

Upcoming Projects

Safe Haven International is committed to expanding sustainable solutions that empower children’s homes to operate with stability, independence, and dignity. As we continue to partner with children's homes across the Philippines, we are excited to launch several new projects designed to strengthen long-term impact.

Solar Power Project with Peachtree City Rotary Club

Bringing reliable, renewable energy to five orphanages

In partnership with the Peachtree City, Georgia Rotary Club, Safe Haven International is preparing to implement a large-scale solar power initiative that will provide clean, dependable electricity to five children’s homes.

This project will:

Significantly reduce monthly utility expenses
Protect homes from power outages and grid instability
Redirect savings toward child care, education, and nutrition
Reduce environmental impact through renewable energy

By equipping these homes with sustainable power, we are building long-term resilience and improving the daily lives of the children and caregivers who depend on these facilities.

Aquaponics Implementation & Expansion at two Children's Homes

Increasing food security through sustainable farming

After the success of the current aquaponics system at Shepherd's Arms, we are taking the next step by expanding the facility to increase food production and improve nutritional diversity.

The upgraded system will:

Provide a larger, consistent supply of fish and leafy greens
Reduce reliance on purchased produce
Introduce children to hands-on agricultural learning
Support long-term food security for the entire home

This expansion strengthens one of the most efficient and eco-friendly food systems available, ensuring healthier meals and reduced operational costs.

Egg Production at Fullness Children's Home

Offering better nutrition, reducing expenses and facilitating learning

Providing egg-laying chickens to an orphanage is a simple, sustainable investment that can improve nutrition, reduce food costs and create valuable learning opportunities for children:
