- Support parents and guardians of the children by offering them guidance and counselling on emotional and psychological being to enable them take good care of the children.
- Offer trainings and seminars on entrepreneurships and support the parents/guardians with business startup capital.
Who We Care For
Our targets are children from the age of 0 – 18 years that are:-
- With any form of disability
- From poor background
- Marginalized or stigmatized
- Orphaned
Our Needs
Tent
There’s a great need for a tent since we normally meet outside and sometimes the weather is not favorable to the children.
Also we hold our meetings with the guardians/parents under scotching sun or sometimes we are interrupted by the rain if its on a rainy season.
Food
Most of the families depend on one meal a day forcing the children to stay hungry during the day till evening when their parents/guardians come back and sometimes they lack.
A big number of them depended on the daily breads that we gave them which they shared amongst themselves. This forced us as the organization to start a feeding program where the children and the parents/guardians can come and feed.
Diapers
The children with disabilities cannot survive without diapers for most of them cannot take themselves to the toiled while Some of our children (girls) are teenagers and in dire need of sanitary towels.
Sometimes they miss school during their monthly periods or end up using un healthy ways as a means.
Clothes
Clothes is one of the basic needs of every human being. These families, a good number of them are in need of clothes from infants to the parents/guardians.
Shoes and beddings are among them. Whenever we visit them at their homes, we are able to see the poor and unhealthy
Our Challenges
Over the years, we have witnessed the numbers growing with an alarming rate. It has come with several challenges that the organization cannot handle alone even with the interventions of our local well-wishers.
This has left our beneficiaries hanging on the balance hopelessly. The project is limited to scarce resources of only less than 100 beneficiaries leaving a total of 729 needy cases hanging. This forces the project to lack continuity and positive impact to our beneficiaries for we are forced to feed them in turns by circulating till we meet the whole number. A times it takes weeks before we complete the circle. Some of the major challenges are:-
Premises
Due to lack of financial stability, we have been having challenges of rent submission in due time.
This has caused us to be under constant threats, Insecurity and embarrassing moments from the agents even in front of the beneficiaries, and sometimes the project come to a stand still until the matter is resolved.
We can only pray and hope that God will open a way where we can put all this behind us and give us somewhere we can be safe, secure and run smoothly without interferance
Land
Since the start of the project, we have been meeting outside our Bishops’ rental house. We were notified that we cannot put up a structure there.
Therefore no much growth or expansion. We have had complains from tenants leading to vacating notices from the house agents alleging we are causing insecurity to other tenants. Also during rainny and sunny seasons, we are forced to bear the climate and sometimes it interrupts with the daily running of the project. We cannot develop the place Due to that we are in dire need of our own place and also due to expansion since the project is growing daily.
Food and Clothing
Most of our beneficiary depends on the meals we offer them. With the research and the assessment we did on the ground, we learnt that most households only affords one meal a day while a certain number depends on what we offer them including what they wear. We are frequently in need of food and clothings.
Diapers
The number of children with living disability within the project stands at 92. These children are faced with different types of needs everyday. Diapers is a major need in their lives and cannot do without. This becomes a huge burden to the parents.
Education
Its painful and alarming to know that most children are dropouts from school due to financial disadvantage and the number increases daily. Even though we have identified the children, the project is not able to come to their aid. It’s our hope and prayer that God will open up a way.
