The initiation for orphan's program grew out as a result of an increase in the number of orphans in the villages the pathetic living condition due to lack of support once they loose their parents. The organization therefore identified, as a priority to start a child care program to cater for the orphans and the vulnerable. Supporting these children has been a great challenge and volunteers have lent an upper hand with the aim of creating opportunities where unprivileged children can have equal opportunity to grow. Most of the time volunteers will be teaching English and assisting the kids with creative activities such as painting, drawing and dancing. In addition to this, volunteers help in the kitchen preparing meals, and washing dishes and clothes. volunteers story telling skills will be put to good use inspiring and motivating the children. In collaboration with other local partners, together in one spirit, and with your kind assistance, let us revive their hope by providing a healthy environment for a meaningful future life.
