Challenge

Unfortunately, Fred and his wife Peace succumbed to a long illness leaving 5 children as orphans. We need to step up and help them.

Solution

We will care for the kids. We will ensure that there is a matron at home to care for them, that their school fees are paid, that they have clothes to wear, shoes on their feet, food in their bellies, and will receive medical care when needed.

Long-Term Impact

This project will cater for the children through secondary school. Basically, we are giving the children the best start at life we can, considering the tragic hand that they have been dealt. We cannot fix what has happened, but we can help them in any way we can. By ensuring that they are cared for in their childhood, we are also ensuring that they will have bright futures, and become respectable adults.
