A Growing Need: Supporting Vulnerable Boys
One of our biggest current challenges is the lack of a residential facility for boys. At present, boys under our care live with their widowed mothers or host families, while we provide school fees, learning materials, and mentorship. However, the need is growing, and our capacity is limited by lack of funding.
We dream of establishing a Boys’ Residential Home.Where vulnerable boys can access the same level of protection, care, and educational opportunities as the girls in our centre.
