Nation Builders School and Orphanage (GHA-19)


Type: Socially Excluded Groups: Orphans - Country: Ghana

Brief description and main aims

It is an NGO founded after charity motivation. It hosts 17 orphans and half-orphans. Some of these children were picked up from the streets.
 
The so-called half-orphans have one living  parent, who cannot provide even for him/herself,  so they rather  give it to the care of the  orphanage.  That  is  how  the  children receive a  home, regular nutrition and health care.
 

Main Activities

The day begins with the kids getting ready for school and ends when they go to bed at night. The orphanage provides education, food, leisure activities and anything else that the children might need.

  • Supporting the "House Mother" (the person in charge of caring for the children)
