Aim
Our aim is to give hope and build
the lives of as many Orphans as possible by:
- Educating them to a suitable
level, for employment. Any private tuition needed by the child will be
provided for.
- Giving them love and attention
that every child so deserves
- Helping them overcome their
nightmares by giving proper counselling
- Allow them to watch News,
documentaries and certain films… this is help them in knowing what the
outside world is like and help them in their development.
- Indoor and Outdoor sports…
board games, tennis etc
- Organising outings on a regular
basis to places of interest, parks, museums etc
- Arranging for visits by their
existing family members such as mothers, uncles, aunts etc. We will aim
to keep this family contact as frequent as possible as we feel that at
the end of the day, no amount of counselling or looking after can
replace family love. The children need a sense of security while with
us. If they feel that they can still keep in touch with their families,
mental development might be faster as there is less negative energy in
the child.
- Every long holiday, the child
will be given the opportunity to visit their home. This is useful for
the child’s mental frame as he then knows that our place is effectively
like a boarding school and he gets the opportunity to be with his family
once a year.
- Every child will have a savings
account opened for them, so that when they eventually leave us, there is
some financial security for them.
- After education, arrange where
ever possible appropriate employment. If however, no employment is
immediately available outside, then if there is a vacancy in the
Orphanage, this can be used as either a permanent job or a temporary one
till something more appropriate comes up. Either way, we will endeavour
to make sure that the child is not “left out in the cold”. He will still
be cared for to an extent till he gets a job.
- Once this orphan gets into
gainful employment, we would ask him to contribute a percentage of his
salary every month , to the orphanage. We propose to set this figure at
1% but any amount will be taken. This is as a way of saying thank you
for looking after me! This will also help him remember that he got to
this level in life because of the orphanage and to think of other
children who are now going through the same thing he went through. This
will build moral responsibility into this individual and the country as
a whole will benefit.
We also help the poor and needy
with their medical expenses, improving their living conditions and helping
them improve their lifestyle.
