ORPHELINAT TUMAINI
Once the children are at the orphanage there is no follow up from the government, they become the responsibility of the orphanage. These children – who are between the age of 3 and 18 and have been orphaned either because of war, disease, extreme political unrest, injustice and/or poverty – need to know that their existence matters. Once the children are 18 years old they can no longer live at the orphanage, this makes room for new children to be brought in, but also leaves the young adults to fend for themselves in very harsh living conditions.
The orphanage building is deteriorating and in desperate need of renovation. There is need for new beds and mattresses as well as new appliances to ease their day-to-day function. Despite their best efforts, the orphanage continues to struggle to meet the growing needs and high cost of living. Apart from sporadic donations from good willed people and local churches, Tumaini does not receive any support or funding from the government.
