Homes
The homes, our oldest programme, take in orphans who are placed in the care of Sudanese couples, who act as foster parents and try to establish new family ties with them. Children receive food, medical attention, schooling and the affection so necessary to a child’s survival.
Seven homes (four for girls and three for boys) are hosting about 200 children. All of them are orphans who survived the war raging in the South.
Farms
The farms were set up to cater for the older children, the adolescents who are becoming more numerous, and to whom, in addition to primary and secondary education, we wished to provide the possibility for them to learn a trade. They learn how to cultivate the soil and rear cattle and in fact they produce enough food not only to nourish themselves but also contribute food supplies for the homes.
