Can anyone help me to open a non-profit business in a small town area for children?

Question

I've moved to this East Texas area from the city and have worked wth these children... THOSE LESS FORTUNATE KIDS NEED A PLACE OUTSIDE SCHOOL AND LIBRARY TO WORK ON SCHOOL ASSIGNMENTS... THIS AREA HAS NO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AND A SITE CLOSE TO PREDOMINANT NEIGHBORHOOD SUCH AS A CHURCH CLOSE TO THE PROJECTS WITHIN WALKING AREA WOULD BE GREAT.... Once started with own personal funds, however at this time depleted.... any one with excess... please help
