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.

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:
This project will:
-
Provide eggs, which are an excellent source of high-quality protein, vitamins and minerals
-
Significantly reduce operating expenses
-
Provide children with practical life skills related to teamwork, responsibility, animal care, basic agriculture and small business principles
-
Generate manure that can be composted and used as natural fertilizer for gardens
Overall, providing egg-laying chickens is a cost-effective, long-term solution that delivers lasting benefits, helping orphanages become resilient and better equipped to care for the children they serve.
