Project Description

This initiative by Mumbonge North America is focused on offering care, essential resources, and emotional support to some of the most vulnerable members of the Mbonge community. Orphans and the elderly often face hardship, lacking a safety net or consistent access to resources for a healthy, dignified life. This project is dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing environment for children who have lost their families and ensuring the elderly have the care, support, and resources they need to thrive.

By establishing a community-supported orphanage and elder care initiative, we aim to foster a supportive network where basic needs are met, education is accessible, and emotional support is provided. This project will include access to healthcare, food, safe shelter, educational programs for children, and social engagement activities for the elderly, promoting a sense of belonging and dignity for both groups.

Objectives of the Project

1. Create a Safe and Nurturing Environment: Develop safe housing and support networks for orphans and the elderly to live in a community that fosters mutual care and compassion.
2. Educational and Skill-Building Programs: Offer education and skill-building workshops to empower young orphans to reach their potential and provide purposeful activities for elderly members.
3. Health and Wellness Programs: Provide access to routine medical checkups, nutritional support, and social and emotional well-being programs to enhance the quality of life for orphans and elderly residents alike.
