OurApproach

We focus on utilizing innovative and proven strategies as tools to assess the needs and identify areas of concerns at every stage in a child’s development. Our foundation continuously uses the Child Status Index as a systematic tool to monitor childhood changes in order to provide quality services in the continuum of care. These six core services are food/nutrition, protection, health care, psychosocial support, education, shelter and care.

Those WeServe

We serve orphan and underprivileged children.  The UNICEF defines an orphan as a child who has lost one or both parents. A ‘single orphan’ means the loss of one parent and a ‘double orphan’ means the loss of both parents. Maternal orphan is loss of a mother and a paternal orphan is the loss of a father.

The UNICEF defines a social orphan as an orphan whose parents have officially given up parental rights as they are either unable or unwilling “to care for their children, for a variety of reasons: sickness, child abandonment, incarceration, neglect of parental duties, doing harm by improper upbringing, and so on.”

The UNICEF defines an underprivileged child as a child living in poverty.
