• ELEMENTARY & SECONDARY SCHOOL
  A quality education remains a distant dream for the estimated 450,000 children who are orphans in Rwanda. And yet education is so critical to providing hope for a child's future. Education will be a major emphasis in all of the children's homes of NCV. NCV will also offer day schooling to children in the community.
  The school will need various donations including computers for the children possibly with access to the internet.

• FARMING
  A farm will be established on NCV grounds to promote good practice in livestock care, soil improvement and care of the environment. There are plans to create a training centre at the farm so that young people can spend time there and take back the skills to their villages. This project will work in partnership with local farmers.
  
• AGRICULTURE
  NCV plans to have a farmable land near the village in order to facilitate agricultural production. It is important to us to provide to all the children with training in this domain. Activities such as the maintenance of the farm, orchards or vegetables will allow the children to hold summer jobs in this domain,
• ORCHARD
  Most people would rather feed themselves and their families than depend on handouts from someone else.
  NCV will be active in sponsoring food gardens at both the family and community level, will support numerous community agriculture projects, supplying seeds, tools and training to help families become more self-sufficient. An orchard will be set up near the village and fruit could be harvested in just a few years. In order to facilitate the irrigation system of the orchard, we will need a motorized water pump.
• CLINIC (COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER)
  Disease and lack of education remain big problems in Rwanda. The government is trying to make primary schooling freely available, but there are still many children who receive little or no schooling. Health care is extremely rudimentary, with 400 qualified doctors serving a population of over 8 million, and many die young from preventable disease. AIDS is a growing problem.
  A Medical clinic will be built on NCV grounds. This will offer sensitive care to those suffering from cholera, malaria, typhoid and other diseases.
  The community health center will carry out numerous consultations each week and will be located on the premises of the orphanage. A central team of general doctors will be formed and will have the role of planning, programming and supervising as a whole the activities of the community health center in accordance with the goals of the orphanage.
• GUEST HOUSE
  A Guest House will be constructed on site. It will provide local employment, encourage volunteers to visit the village as they will be accommodated onsite with the children during their stay, will provide accommodation for certain business, government and NGO visitors to generate income for the village.
