Through our annual 5-mile community road race and walk, The Grace Race, we have raised over $172,000 in the seven years that we have held the event (for financial details please contact Treasurer Kenny Mitchell at kenny.mitchell@hotmail.com). During this time the Grace Race Fund has raised funds to pay for:
- A 5-acre plot of land in Naivasha for the buildings and farmland that will comprise the facility.
- Borehole drilling for a well on the land and the installation of a well pump.
- Fencing material. (In 2007 a team of men and women from the Chelmsford area visited Naivasha to construct a fence around the perimeter of the land, working alongside men and women from Naivasha.)
- Irrigation equipment for the farmland and its installation.
- Electrical infrastructure work on the site including a diesel generator to meet temporary electrical power needs.
- Construction of the administrative wing (containing staff offices, dining hall, kitchen, and clinic) both boys and girls dormitories (housing up to 100 orphans in total), and multi-purpose room (serving as larger dining area, gym, and fellowship/worship hall)
