From a Borrowed Veranda to a Generation-Shaping Mission

In mid-2018, Shepherds Path Foundation began with zero endowment, a folded plastic folding table, and seven wooden stools set up on an open-air residential veranda. What started as an earnest Saturday morning breakfast offering and remedial reading session for neighbourhood street children quickly unveiled a profound hunger: children eager not simply for food, but for care, belonging, adult guidance, and foundational literacy.

What began under the shade of a borrowed veranda as a Saturday morning meal drive and basic reading circle has grown into a resilient family of care. Witnessing brilliant children sidelined by poverty, we felt called not merely to offer momentary relief, but to build steady bridges of opportunity.

Guided by a simple spiritual conviction—that no child’s God-given calling should remain unreached due to poverty or displacement—our team formalised its outreach structure. We invited local schoolteachers, volunteer nurses, and community elders to join hands in offering holistic guidance.

Today, what commenced on that quiet porch has blossomed into an accredited educational sanctuary and scholarship network reaching remote villages and peri-urban settlements.
