HOW DO WE HELP
THE CHILDREN?
EDUCATION
We strongly advocate the
need for education and provide encouragement and support, materially, emotionally
and spiritually. Tuition classes are provided for students and our team
of volunteers are constantly in touch with their school teachers.
COUNSELLING
We provide counselling services
and support for the parents (or guardians) and children in family matters,
as well as matters concerning the upbringing of the children.
Mothers
are frequently harassed, abused or abandoned by their husbands and need
a listening ear to hear their struggles and frustrations. We hope that
the mutual exchange of thoughts, ideas and feelings will help them see
clearer the situation they face and enable them to have the courage to
take a stand and change the circumstances under which they live.
FRIENDSHIP
Most of all we offer them
our friendship and support. Through this we hope to build more confident
families who will nurture the children of our future.
We hope to give these children
a chance to be children. To be happy, carefree, creative, caring and confident
children who will show us the meaning of life. |
