The New Community Home (TNCH) was established on 30 November 2007.

Set up by The New Church, this orphange is located in Nias, West of Sumatra, Indonesia.

Currently, we have at least 25 children aged between 5 to 17 and a staff team of 5 ladies to nurture and watch over them.

Nias, about 5 times as large as Singapore, has a population of 7 millions, of which 90% are Christians.

In 2007, many children turned orphans overnight due to Asian Tsunami and earthquake. Our objective is to move these underprivileged orphans from their dire poverty and cater to their need for a proper education and care. We hope that they can grow up to be useful and upright citizens contributing to their community.

Monthy expenses required to support the Home is more than S$3,000.

A new plot of land has been purchased for the construction of a new orphange, so as to cater to the growing number of children coming into the orphange, as well as other building facilties, such as a hall, an eco-garden for agricultural training and classrooms, not only for the orphans but to reach out to the Nias community, through free classes and organised events. The whole construction cost is estimated around S$650,000, out of which, the orphange cost about S$450,000. A project called Nias Missions Fund has been set up for this fund-raising purpose.
