Orphanages
Orphanages... One would think that those words would mean a safe haven for those children that have met with hardships.
Or perhaps a warm dry place to sleep and have a hot meal until they can return to a functional family.
Unfortunately it usually means a shower that consists of a rusty sink running cold water, and toilets that are no more than a broken bowl
requiring a bucket of water to flush. No walls for privacy, no hot water, and don’t forget the water leaking through the rotting floor
into the boys’ bathroom below. It means minimal food, minimal staff, minimal support from State and government agencies, over crowding,
hopelessness. If one dares to venture to the remote areas, they would find that the many facilities that exist to support
the orphaned, homeless and needy children are all but forgotten. Many of the orphanages have given up asking for help from the State and
rely on their own resources and ingenuity to survive. Most of the buildings that house orphans require major renovations to keep the roof
from falling in on the heads of the poor children. Some orphanages haven’t had any major repairs done in over 40 years!!
They’re out of date and out of building Code, which can even threaten their continued existence.
Changing the quality of life in these shelters is very easy and very much needed.
Your contribution gives these orphanages appliances, cooking stoves, washing machines, windows, doors, flooring, sinks, toilets, showers,
just to name a few!! Please help now!
