HOW IT ALL STARTED
OUR HISTORY
In 2008, Christian missionaries Calvin and Alicia Groen were heartbroken and horrified when they started finding malnourished and dying babies in the woods of Geita, Tanzania. In that part of the world, it is common practice for parents to abandon their children when they can’t provide enough to take care of them. The Groens dreamed of opening an orphanage to care for these children, but they did not have the money to get it started, so they told their friends back in Murfreesboro about their idea.
Fast forward to 2010 when Staci McCreary entered the picture. Inspired by the Groens’ stories, she rallied other Christians together with the goal of creating a family friendly event to raise money for the orphanage. And thus, Neema House and Borodash were born!
Over the years, Borodash began supporting other local charities, as well, allowing more and more lives to be touched and changed for the better.
