St. Dorothea Kinderheim Kirinda
Our Initiative
St. Dorothea Children's Home is currently supporting 15 orphans and vulnerable children to help them stay in school and have a bright future.
The project also provides after-school tutoring and counseling sessions. After school, the children have access to healthy, balanced food to help them stay strong and focus on their studies.
Our Challenge
Every one to four months, we take in 5-6 orphans in our home who need help in the form of books, school fees, blankets, food, shelter, mattresses, medicine, clothes, sanitary pads for girls, and other basic needs from our organization. However, our organization is not always able to help them due to limited resources. The children's home is facing financial difficulties in feeding these children and supporting them to attend school.
The children have to pay school fees in order to have an education; however, due to financial hardship, we are not able to support them. The home has a small source of income (200 chickens, 4 pigs, and three local goats), but it is not enough to support the needy children.
Future Plans
The children’s home has decided to raise funds to set up a poultry, pig, and goat farm to create a sustainable source of income for the children at St. Dorothea Children’s Home. We kindly request you to support our project of poultry keeping, piggery, and goat rearing.
