SOME OF OUR PROGRAMS

We enumarate here some of our many programs:
Distant support. This program supports orphans and vulnerable children in nursery, primary, secondary and vocational institutions. Currently more than 960 children are sponsored in this program. School fees and scholastic materials, food items and clothing are given to them and medical care is given to those living with HIV/AIDS.
The Learning Centre. This is a day care centr, which is offering education to 450 orphans and vulnerable children who do not have the chance of going to primary school. Among the subjects taught is general knowledge, English, Catechism, Hand Crafts, Social Sciences, Sports, etc. Except our local teachers, volunteer teachers from all over the world come frequently. Because most of these children come from very disadvantaged families, breakfast and lunch is served to them at the office.
Dry food is also given to the very poor ones.
Vocational School. This is a two year course for the adolescent boys and girls orphans who dropped out of school due to lack of school fees. They are trained in how to be self-dependants and job creators. They learn tailoring, cookery, secreterial skills, tie, dye and knitting for girls while boys are taught how to make shoes, bags and belts plus craft making.
