Our Story

WHO WE ARE

Welcome to Schefferspos Children's Home

Schefferspos Trust (founded June 2023, Botswana) and its child organization, Schefferspos Children’s Home NPC (registered December 2024), were born from a deep calling to uplift neglected children and teenage mothers.

Led by a well-disciplined Christian founder with a background in farming, fleet, logistics, and regional management, we relocated from Kazungula and Ballito to Samochima, North West Botswana, in response to the desperate need in the area. Children in this region live in unsafe, unsupervised, and undernourished conditions. Many face dangers such as wild animals in the Okavango Delta, with no access to consistent schooling or safety.

With community trust, passion, and a clear vision, we’ve started this mission – not just to care for children but to raise a generation of confident, educated, and self-sustainable youth.

WHAT WE WANT TO ACHIEVE

Our Project

What We Are Building
Schefferspos Children’s Home will be a safe haven for abandoned and vulnerable children and teenage mothers – a place grounded in Christian principles and built to support emotional, educational, and physical well-being.

Our development includes:

  • 16 family homes for children and house mothers

  • A pre-school, administration buildings, staff houses

  • Warehouse, cold room, abattoir, and vehicle park

  • Farming projects: moringa, vegetables, fruit orchards, goat grazing fields

  • Aquaponics and irrigation systems

  • A much-needed community sports facility

Pilot Program: Our first family house will be a model for sustainability – housing 12 children, 2 house mothers, and 2 house aunties (teenage mothers). This 6-month pilot will guide our expansion.

Self-Sustainability: Using low-cost, eco-friendly building methods and agricultural programs, we aim to empower the community and generate income to ease reliance on donors in the long term.

Community Employment: We will immediately employ 14 local workers, with 14 more added during construction, uplifting 28 families from day one.

Similar inspirations: LIV Village, Summerhill House, Ikhaya Leshu – successful models that show this vision works.
