The Fund works in collaboration with church partners and other local organizations to facilitate healthier, more fulfilling lives in communities that are struggling with hunger, poverty, disaster and disease. It also works around the world and here in the US responding to and rebuilding after disasters.
The Good Shepherd Home & Academy
Calvary Church continues to support the The Good Shepherd Home & Academy located in Bafut, Cameroon. The Home is dedicated to caring for children on the streets in Cameroon. Many of these children have lost their parents to the AIDS epidemic. This facility provides a safe environment for them to grow into healthy young men and women. The Good Shepherd Academy was established in 2016 to provide a co-ed residential secondary/high school education for 350 students with the emphasis on academic excellence, integrating sustainable agriculture, physical and emotional well-being, and spiritual growth. The Christian school enrolls students from diverse ethnic, cultural, religious, and socio-economic backgrounds. Calvary has partnered with the Good Shepherd Home for over 15 years and has given $200,000 for the building of the refectory. “The Calvary Centre.”
