About this facility
- Mission
- from website: What we do - Bosko is a 501(c)3 that was created to care for the children God entrusts to us. We take in children who are orphaned due to abandonment and/or death of the parents. We take in sibling sets of 3 or more that are typically difficult to find families for without separating them. In caring for the children, Bosko provides food, shelter, education and spiritual care. We provide a loving environment with a nanny and a host family to demonstrate Christ-like love with a care for others above self. We give them clothes and toys and create as normal of an environment as possible.

Notes
Our Future -
We are providing tents, medical supplies and food to the community around our property and in Fond Parisian a few miles down the road toward the border where many refugees from the city have fled. We are also working closely with the people at Ebenezer.
While the tents provide immediate shelter and protection, hurricane season is coming at the tents will not stand up to the weather. We are working with civil engineers to modify our construction to protect from earthquakes and hurricanes. We will work as quickly as possible to complete the homes and continue with the crops. Once we move people in, we will purchase the livestock and train the residents how to care for them.

We have also been working with an orphanage and medical clinic at Ebenezer de Jumecourt, a couple of miles from our property. There is a great deal of need and we will be heading back down as quickly as possible.
