The Carpenter's House Rebuilds Lives

The Carpenter’s House provides a safe refuge for children who come from orphanages in third-world countries, many of whom have experienced dismal poverty, near starvation or suffer from life-threatening medical conditions that cannot be adequately treated in their home country.


Adopting these children into their home — and their hearts — the Manfredis provide a foundation of values and responsibility, and a lifetime of love and support to the children of The Carpenter's House. Although raising up to 18 children under one roof presents
challenges, the Manfredis consider themselves blessed to
be able to help make a difference.

Supported solely by donations, The Carpenter's House
operates on a very lean budget to provide food, shelter,
clothes, medical care, school supplies and toys for the
children in its care. Citing a "call from God" as their
motivation, the Manfredis devoted their lives to providing
hope to the hopeless, love to the forgotten and opportunity
to the unfortunate. Although the couple has a seemingly
unending supply of faith and determination to forge a
good life for their children, they can't do it alone.
They need your help.
