The group is composed of more than 200 persons, majority children and women. They have tried to organize themselves with very limited means to work together in addressing their problems and rejection from the community. We were able to help them with immediate needs such as secure rent for couple months until we start a program that will allow them to have a sustainable mean of income. we are hoping to be able to fundraise enough funds and start by supporting their children to return to school and their parents to start micro projects to cover families need. Please feel free to contact us on more details on how to be involved |
