Project Information

Caring for abandoned children by providing love, clothing, food and education

Describe the need affecting community

The need being addressed by this project is that of homeless children. We take care of abandoned, orphans and vulnerable children brought to us by the Department of Child Welfare. The Children’s Home seek to make sure that these children are taken care of in homes like an ideal family, with a mother who takes care of them in a home setting. We need to feed, cloth, pay school fees, pay salaries for the mothers, administrative charges and running expenses.

How will this Advance project help to address the need?

Look after the children by feeding them baby formula when they are still babies. Making sure that they are healthy and paying hospital bills if any of the children becomes ill. Paying school fees and buying uniforms and school supplies. Supervising home works and maintaining discipline so that they grow up as good citizen. Making sure that the mothers/House parents’ salaries are paid on time so that they will take good care of children without grumbling.
