What the new campus will provide

Room for more students, opportunities to teach more skills, dedicated space for our children, and so much more—Neema’s improved facilities will ensure we can continue to accomplish our mission and work toward fulfilling our vision.

Our new campus will:

 
 

OFFER MORE VULNERABLE YOUNG WOMEN A SPOT AT NEEMA 

  • The three residences and classrooms will enable approximately 60 young women to be welcomed into the program, up from 30 today. 

  • We will not need to turn away as many women because of a lack of space. 

OFFER HER OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN NEW SKILLS 

  • The three new classrooms will provide a more optimal setting to teach more extensive dressmaking and tailoring classes, as well as organize community workshops. 

  • The additional land will allow for the teaching of sustainable farming. 

OFFER HER COMFORT OF HEART 

  • Individual counseling offices will allow for private one-on-one counseling. 

  • A large indoor community room will be used for group devotions and chapel services. 

OFFER HER PEACE OF MIND 

  • She’ll have reliable access to electricity and clean water every day. 

  • She’ll have a safe place for her child to learn, play, and rest while she is in school. 

  • She’ll eat a healthy diet with fresh vegetables and fruits grown straight from the Neema garden. 

ESTABLISH NEEMA AS A LONG-TERM PARTNER IN THE COMMUNITY 

  • Owning our land and buildings brings assurance to the community that Neema is committed to Waitaluk and here to stay. 

  • The large community room will enable us to organize and host events for the community. 

  • Sharing our well water with the surrounding families will give an estimated 500 women and children reliable access to clean water.
