Increasing self-sufficiency through educational and charitable projects for people nationally and internationally.
Joseph Waweru Home School
In 2003, Expanding Opportunities (EO) advanced the goals of its street children fund by beginning construction of the Joseph Waweru Home School--a home for street boys. The home school now houses eight boys, ranging in age from two to twenty two, who don't have relatives capable of taking care of them.

The home school's compound has been developed substantially since construction started in 2003. It now includes a main house, which houses volunteers and employees, a dorm block, in which the street boys live, and a commons building, which is still under construction.
The home school's African coordinators are Pastor Joseph Waweru and his wife, Mama Mwangi. The couple live just a short walk away from the compound. Since the home school began, Pastor and Mama have graciously offered their house as a place to cook meals for the boys, as well as employees and volunteers. Hopefully the commons building, which contains a kitchen and a dining room, will soon be completed so that Mama Mwangi can cook for the boys on the home school's compound.

EO has several staff members who live at the home school and work on it, as well as EO's other projects. The home school's development is also aided by North American volunteers who spend the first three months of every year participating in service journeys to the home school.
