Shalom Children's Foundation
2 acres of land have been donated to us by the Bukwa Town Council for an orphanage. We are now seeking the resources to begin construction on the orphanage home and buildings.
There are about 500 orphans in the district due to the raids and HIV/AIDS, and there is no other organization at all in the whole district to help them.
Currently, for some of the orphans without either parent, we have requested families to take them into their homes whenever possible.
There is however a great need to provide food, clothing, basic needs and school fees for them, in addition to building a dedicated orphanage homestead.
Shalom Children's Foundation has now (January 2009) been registered as a separate NGO. |
