There are over one million orphans, who need opportunity to a better life and education to have a secure foundation to reach their potential.
Most orphans do not have opportunities presented to them and grow up with no sense of belonging or self-worth. With no formal education or training, some of them end up selling on the streets to make a living or turn delinquent. For vulnerable children as orphans, many of them are ostracized, and used as house helps, and are subjected to all kinds of abuse. For these children; self-esteem, values, goal setting, decision making, understanding boundaries, self-belief, problem solving and critical thinking are necessary life skills they lack.
Having seen the difference in the lives of children who have experienced life changing opportunities, excelling in school, and living their purpose gave me the vision to build a blue-print children’s home, where the children will grow up with security, a sense of belonging and be part of a family unit, have the care, nurture, guidance, dignity and discipline every child need.
This will provide the needed foundation, to help the children realize their full potential, enabling them to integrate into society and be independent. Their success will influence their peers by educating them to positively change the cultural mind sets of the people they interact with and their perception of orphans and how they are treated.
