ABANDONED CHILDREN - SEEKING ASSISTANCE


Did you know that all we ask our Primary Seven candidates to bring to school for a full week of meals is 3kgs of flour, 2 kilograms of beans, 5 tomatoes and half a kilogram of sugar. Would you be surprised if we told you that we have students at our school who cannot even afford to bring this every week? Yet this is too little compared to what other institutions ask. 

We have children at our school who are suffering from a wide variety of problems that they really should not have to deal with at their age. Some have been abandoned and others simply suffer from poverty. Our Children have a number of various problems they face in their homes, while on their way to school, they tend to suffer a lot and start thinking as hopeless people! 

Our organization is stretched to the limit looking after these children who are all dear to our hearts. We cannot turn them away – they simply have no-where else to turn. We have always tried to give out to some few: clothes, free meals, uniforms, although most times we get stuck, given our limited means! Some children lack where to stay & no one takes care, while others have been threatened with harm. 

We are appealing to everyone to please help us rescue and take care of these young children. They are in need of a place to stay and someone to pay their school fees among other things.  

Thank you for your kindness and charity.  

Yours faithfully;
