About This Project
Our Vision
To raise leaders while restoring a town for sustainable Kingdom transformation.
Our Mission
Restoring hope, equipping lives, and building family through Christ-centered community care and community enterprise.
Our Story
In 2006, a team of social entrepreneurs purchased the abandoned mining town of Bulembu in Eswatini (formerly Swaziland) with a vision to restore it to a fully sustainable town providing full care to over 350 orphaned and vulnerable children, raising up the nation’s next generation of godly men and women leaders. Our children live in family homes with a caregiver, and they receive a full education at Bulembu Christian Academy, health care at the Bulembu Clinic, and spiritual care through the Bulembu Community Church and various youth programs.
The profits from Bulembu’s Community Enterprises, such as the country lodge, essential oils, honey, water, dairy, and bakery, flow into Bulembu’s sustainability fund for the care of the children and the advancement of Bulembu’s vision.

*GCF operates on the basis of Donor-Advised Funding. It is our utmost goal to meet the Donor’s desire and intent to provide support to particular GCF projects but, ultimately, the responsibility for the disbursement and ministry use of funds is the Great Commission Foundation’s.
*You will receive an official Canadian tax receipt for all eligible donations by the end of February of the following year. Thank you for your support of the mission and programs of The Great Commission Foundation (“GCF”).
