ACHIEVEMENTS

Having started the centre as a feeding centre with only ten children who were identified due to malnutrition, we have since been engaged in sponsoring through nursery, primary and secondary school. Over 300 children have been assisted in one way or the other by Christ Cares Children's Centre. Some have gone through skills training (carpentry, masonry, motor vehicle mechanics and driving.)
Currently we have: 2 girls in Secondary, 2 boys in training, 11 awaiting to get sponsors so they can go to Colleges, 15 others are going through Primary Education.We have purchased a 2-acre plot for construction of a rehabilitation centre at Kiserian (pipeline)We continue to interact with children on the streets and have occasionally fed and clothed them as well as the other needy children within the community.There is a remarkable improvement in those families who have continued to relate with us spiritually.We have even put up some shelters for families.

EVANGELISM

This Ministry, being a Christian Ministry, we take time out in the slums to share Christ with parents. It is the founder’s belief that many problems like drunkenness, contribute to the negligence of the children but these problems are solved when parents turn to Christ through salvation.

FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES

Due to financial constraints we have not been able to take the children who are completing schools for skills training or to colleges. We have therefore only partly achieved our goals. Have also been using the Director’s premises as the drop-in centre. There is a very urgent need to build an orphanage where the children can be housed properly and be well taken care of. The Centre has managed to acquire a piece of land where we hope to construct permanent orphanage facilities, drill a borehole. We need to buy all the necessary furniture, electricity, buy a project vehicle to take the children to Public Schools, have recreation facilities, food and salaries for the workers. We have a vision of housing at least 100 children.
