The first phase is to acquire 10-15 acres for the long term residential youth care homes. With your support and prayers our vision will become and reality and we will begin to teach the next generation of youth about living with the spirit of God.
About the Raivu Campus........
The Raivu campus is a residential care facility. Children who live at the campus come from a variety of situations. For example, they may not have family who is able to care for them, or they may live in harmful environment. Children who live at the Raivu Campus receive exceptional care. They live in a residential home designed to house up to 10 children. Family teachers live with the children and provide a safe home atmosphere where they can learn, feel secure, and reach their fullest potential.
Youth are instilled with Christian values and taught the importance of living a Godly life, respecting authority, and helping others. Essential social skills are also taught through basic daily routines, helping kids adapt and be successful in other areas of life. Educational needs are met by utilizing local public schools. Raivu For Kids, Board of Directors, will examine in the future utilizing home school curriculum to supplement the children’s education.
Criteria for admission to Raivu include, but are not limited to, the following:
Youth from a broken or abusive home
Youth’s physical needs are not being met
Youth does not demonstrate drug/ alcohol dependency
Youth is not being sought by law enforcement
Youth does not require special programs to participate in educational systems (i.e.: special education, psychological counseling)

In addition to addressing the spiritual, physical, and educational needs, the Raivu Campus has athletic programs, outdoor events, and a variety of other extracurricular activities.
Buildings on the Raivu Campus........
Visitor Center: This is the headquarters of the Raivu for Kids campus. The visitor center will house the registration area, counseling and staff offices, as well as a store where visitors can purchase Raivu gear.
Long Term Youth Care Homes: Here is where formerly homeless and at risk youth will live. They will enjoy having their own bed in a safe, secure location. Parent teachers will mentor the youth from a Biblical perspective and live with them up to age 18.
College Years: This is where young adults can live after they graduate from high school. We will provide housing for them during this transitional stage in their lives. They will have the opportunity to give back to the campus, putting into practice the Biblical principles they have learned.
