Unlike organizations that simply address economic or physical poverty, Potter’s House seeks to deliver five holistic development programs through our community centers: Family Development, Education, Health and Nutrition, Micro-Enterprise and Community Development. We integrate the love of God in every single program with our overarching emphasis on Christian life. Through prayer walks, daily devotionals and bible studies customized to different age groups we encourage communities to walk alongside God.
We provide spiritual guidance for the families in the communities. Our focus is on reconnecting the family as a unit by helping them learn how to love and support each other. We teach them how to effectively communicate with each other, using kind and loving words rather than using hate words.
We holistically equip and shape the lives of the Treasures from elementary school through university. Not only do we teach them academic subjects but we also teach them Christian values and principles. We actively seek ways of improving the cognitive and emotional aspect of the children through different activities.
We provide medical attention for the Treasures, treating their illnesses and supporting them when a serious illness strikes. In addition, we educate them in the basics of disease prevention and personal hygiene. We also provide nutritious meals that help the children reach the national group average for their height and weight
We promote community participation and collaboration in searching for solutions to their problems; through the implementation of community projects—infrastructure, equipping, evangelize—we support the self-management of the communities. We train community leaders to develop their community.
We provide financial resources and guidance to small business owners; enabling them to grow, increase their income, and improve their lives and the lives of their family. They are taught the importance of saving money and, how to not fall victim to loan sharks or other organizations where interest rates are high.
