Building a better future.

HOUSING

Indentifying and Selecting the Children

Initially housing will accommodate up to 60 children determined by Sister Mary and the orphan committee of the Mahida parish to be at the greatest risk of failing to attain normal adult behaviors without early intervention. Evaluations that measure health, educational, social, behavioral, and economic factors will be used to determine a child's overall risk level.

Benefits of the Orphan Houses

A safe and nurturing living environment will be provided by house parents and live-in volunteers. House parents with grown children of their own will be drawn from Mahida and other local villages. Children will be given tutoring, nutritious meals, adequate medical care, counseling, guidance on how to cope with life's challenges, and the opportunity to grow spiritually.
