Produce a monthly magazine as part of our sensitization program; so we need to purchase desktops, laptops, camera,photocopier more office materials/ equipment to enhance our services.
A daycare/ Recipe centre program where the children can spend their day ; receive their therapy clinics and other medical attention occasionally, have fun thus some people play music for those who can only enjoy especially by listening and observation, those that can learn to draw color and paint , the trainable children can be taught some life-skills and others such like bead work, table mats, soap and detergent making, sewing and knitting. All these skills aimed at helping them to be self reliant in future. We will appreciate if you can teach the word of God to young children who have some challenges, play and make their day enjoyable.
Majority of our children have cerebral palsy condition come from very vulnerable backgrounds and yet require diapers frequently due to incontinence. Some need pads and others basic items such as clothing and food.
The children require special food(good diet) since most of them hardly get good meals so we intend to provide some meals for them 10 o'clock and lunch break every Saturday.
We need to purchase some therapy materials since those we have some have worn out.
