Our Progress

Larchfield itself is a site of 22 acres, 40km south of Dar Es Salaam.

Once the site had been secured, a design workshop was set up in Dubai where a group of talented volunteers assisted in formulating the layout of the children’s home.

And then in 2016 the construction began.

We completed the construction of phase 1 and have accommodation for up to 50 orphans. One of the dormitory blocks is used as a recreation and dining hall.


PHASE 2 – Refurbishment and Expansion


In 2023 we undertook a major refurbishment of all the buildings as they had been badly affected by the weather. In addition we started the construction of a large multi purpose hall. The hall will be used for education, recreation and dining.


This will free up one of our existing buildings for further childrens accomodation enabling us to increase the number of orphans we can house.


In addition we installed a new fresh water system for the whole site. This uses a solar powered pump to bring water from a purpose built deepwater well into an ultra filtration and reverse osmosis plant that we built on site.


The water supply project means we are now totally independent of the mains water supply and our children can both wash and drink very high quality clean water.


Further developments on the site can be found in our projects section
