It has been estimated that 1 in 15 women die during childbirth, and 1 in 5 children die before they reach the age of 5 years old. Infant orphans would just not survive if they were left in a rural village environment.
Vision:
This place takes in newborn infant orphans and toddlers who are raised and taught the most basic skills of self-sufficiency and hygiene. They go back to the family or extended family at about the age of 4 years old. There is also a longer term care facility to care for children with severe physical and mental disabilities.
Your Donation:
Will go towards food for the children, baby supplies, paying the staff, and maintaining the infrastructure of the facility.
