Many children-at-risk – orphaned and or fatherless, attend our school and affiliated schools each day. They have lost either one or both parents and have a relative or neighbor willing to ‘take them on’ with a meal and roof over their heads – and nothing else. We step in and reach out to the children in their backyard.

Our Childcare Extension staff visit every children every two weeks to monitor their living conditions and to offer much-needed practical assistance and training for each child’s family. The majority of the homes are headed by widows, single mothers and grandmothers. Our male extension staff play the ‘father’ role whiles the female ones, take on the ‘mother’ roles. We also engage the community leaders to champion the cause of child protection and care.
