Projects
Child Welfare
Realizing the stigma, lack and psychological torture and rob of joy of the orphans in Africa and also realizing the need to advocate for equal opportunities, involvement and participation in decision making, social, political, economic and cultural activities.In the absence of a suitable home for orphaned and vulnerable children, FCH provides a home to care for them as they can meet that need. Children’s needs are complex and require physical, social, developmental, and spiritual care to raise them with a sense of self confidence and self worth. Faith Children’s Home currently serves forty children.
Education
Education is the backbone for every civil economy and as Faith Children's Home we focus our attention on empowering communities in Africa through sending the kids to school. We are currently responsible for sending 40 children to school where we fully cater for their tuition fees and scholastic materials. We would love to appreciate friends that have partnered with us to provide termly scholastic materials to the kids and even the onetime gifts that have sustained us. Our focus is currently in orphan’s Education.
Widows empowerment
It is women who assume much of the responsibility for orphaned children ultimately. The income generating capacity of these households is profoundly constrained by numerous dependent children; lack of opportunity to accumulate productive resources like cattle, goats, and farming implements; and difficulty in gaining access to credit. They are further constrained by limited education and training which limits their employability. FCH has countered this trend by organizing widows in groups, and then offering them training in different skill sets such as tailoring, crafts, and farming
Community Placements of Orphans
As we identify children that have lost their parents, we trace the next of kin to try and place them there, so as to keep that unique semblance of familial attachment going. In the absence of relatives, we identify families with the capacity to absorb one or two extra children and then place them there. These families are expected to treat the orphans as though they are their own children, by providing them with whatever their families would: food, shelter, medical care, education, clothing, but above all, love without peripheral qualifications. FCH. now visits these homes twice every month to supervise and ascertain compliance to FCH child placement standards.
