Détails du programme

The project is run by Pastor Aswani and Linet, who founded the organization in 2012. They were inspired to create a safe home for children with disabilities after being driven out by their community when they had their beloved son Samuel, born with cerebral palsy. They seek to educate their community about acceptance and love towards childeals and snacks, a safe place to sleep, education and physical therapy. The government doesn't help ren with special needs. Our project has since accepted over a thousand intakes with varying backgrounds. Most children are living on the street when they approach our shelter. We currently house 84 children but regularly accept new intakes. 11 of these children have special needs, including ADHD, cerebral palsy and hydro encephalitis. We provide 3 daily mus, we don't charge fees to volunteers, children or families and we're 100% volunteer run.

Activités et horaires

Règles

Respect for our kids is a must. Smoking, drinking, using foul language and being alone with children one-on-one are not permitted. We have a zero-tolerance policy for threats, abuse, and discrimination. Please do not allow children independent access to your phone and obtain permission before taking their photos. We're happy to provide an e-copy of the agreement document you must sign before volunteering with us. Asante sana for your understanding. We look forward to hosting you!
