THE NEW COMMUNITY HOME @ NIAS 倪雅斯儿童之家
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.

新儿童之家于2007年11月30日,在印尼苏门答腊以西的倪雅斯正式注册,是新教会在当地设立的孤儿院,目前收养至少当地25名孤儿,年龄介于5岁到17岁,由5位同工来看顾他们。
倪雅斯的面积约5个新加坡这么大,人口700万,其中90%是基督徒。倪雅斯在2005年大海啸与地震中,饱受摧残,许多孩子一夜间失去了父母。新儿童之家要帮助这些可怜的孤儿脱离贫穷,教导他们学习一技之长,让他们接受正统教育,以取诸社会,用主诸社会。
目前,新儿童之家的每个月开销是约于S$3,000 到S$4,000之间。
为了应付儿童进入孤儿院的人数增长,新教会买了一片地,在那里兴建新的孤儿院和其他的设备,譬如,课室,礼堂,农业训练设备等等,可以为着当地的居民提供免费训练和主办社区活动。这整个工程的费用是约于S$650,000 (S$450,000 是儿童之家)。 为了筹款,我们设立了新儿童之家新工程计划。
