Children's Homes
 

CCM is a Philippine government-registered residential children’s homes provider and currently has three such homes staffed fulltime, comprising two for girls and one for boys. Children are in the care of CCM for up to three years, and the focus is on reconciling them with their families, either immediate or extended. In an exceptional circumstance, a child may be placed with CCM for longer, however new assessment is made after every three years. Currently, 18 girls and nine boys are homed by CCM. Ages across the homes range from four years old to late-teens. All homes have fulltime housemothers who work shifts around the clock, single women; and all homes staff are members of CRBC.

The two girls’ homes are conjoined at a purpose-built complex Masinag complex houses four of CCM's children's homes
in Antipolo City, about thirty minutes drive from Cubao and within a secure residential village. The boys are housed in a purpose-built home also, within a different secure residential village not far away in Cainta, and about thirty-five minutes drive from CRBC.

Many of the children in the homes come from backgrounds of abuse, abandonment and neglect. Some come from families who simply don't have the capacity to care for more children, either in the short-term or long-term. Some are orphans.

CCM is much in need of further sponsors for the homes. You can sponsor one of the CCM homes for NZ$2,700/year (NZ$225/month). This sponsorship goes towards providing children in that home with well-maintained accommodation, food, clothing and other daily needs, all educational needs and extra help from a CCM tutor, high quality medical care, outings, counselling with one of CCM’s social workers, and many other benefits, as well as providing a contribution to the salaries of the housemothers who care for the children.

All CCM children regularly attend CRBC, are immersed in church activities, such as Bible studies and Sunday School, and are raised and nurtured in the discipline and admonition of Scripture.

A sponsorship commitment such as this would be ideally suited to a church, home group, or Bible study group. Individual or family support is of course also very welcome towards this cause.
