Heroes of the Nation Announces Plans for New Campus in Nairobi
Heroes of the Nation will launch a campus in Nairobi, Kenya for 1,000 orphans. The self-sufficient orphanage model is groundbreaking in its vision to bring lasting transformation to Africa.
Washington, DC, February 05, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Andrew Sievright, president and founder of Heroes of the Nation (HTN), the largest orphanage in Kenya, announced that HTN is planning to launch a new campus in Nairobi that will be unique in its structure and function. The ground-breaking for the new Heroes Empowerment Campus in Nairobi, Kenya, is estimated to begin in 2011.
The future Heroes Empowerment Campus (HEC) will be a self-sufficient, leadership training facility that will care for 1,000 orphans as well as showcase pioneering renewable energy technology, new strategies for economic development, free online education, technology distribution, micro and macro business, and sustainable agricultural practices.
Andrew Sievright, founder and president of Heroes of the Nation, is the visionary behind this pioneering concept of large-scale self-sufficient campuses. A businessman and entrepreneur, Sievright brings experience and insight into business development that generates revenue for orphanages and benefits local economies.
In addition to an orphanage, the new Heroes Empowerment Campus will include a 300-student leadership college, television and radio-broadcasting center, medical center, wild animal park, a hotel, and business park. The business park will include over thirty small businesses acting as revenue-generating sources that will also serve as teaching labs for future entrepreneurs.
This orphanage campus model is revolutionary in its scope. Sievright developed the model after seeing the crisis in Africa of children at risk and the need for new approaches to economic development. “The ever growing number of AIDS orphans demands a new approach to the way that orphanage campuses are structured. We must find new vehicles for human transformation, establishing technological, environmental and social solutions to influence communities, cities and nations,” said Sievright. With this new self-sustainable model, Sievright hopes the Heroes Empowerment Campus can be replicated all over the world.
Established in 1999 and based in Redding, California and Nairobi, Kenya, Heroes of the Nation is a registered 501(c)3 organization. For more information, please visit www.htn.org or e-mail info@htn.org or call 1-877-866-HERO.
