PRESENT CONSTRAINS
Constrains
At present the following are our current problems:
1. We have a land for infrastructural purposes but we lack funds or funding to continue our operations and construct the school, vocational skills training and Orphanage interim care center for the development of the children.
2. The nursery and primary school is almost free but the problem is that we do not have funds to pay teachers and other school staff. They only receive stipends. Imagine in a situation where the head teacher, deputy and the education secretary are receiving $25 each month. While the other teachers receives $15 per month. It is really because of love, but considering the high cost of living in our country, that amount means nothing. They have their family members to look after and support every now and then as authority of the school there is so much stress and trouble.
3. The school currently has one hall two classrooms permanent structure and four classrooms is only a temporal structure. There is also the problem of
Children in our society. We want such children empowered through educational support so as to make them self-reliant and hopeful individuals in society School furniture.
There is no playing facilities and no opportunity to
give the children computer training since we do not have computers and computer

2. We partnered with carpentry; tailoring and soaping making groups were we sent well over 50 youths to be trained. Today, many of them are now able to take care of themselves through the various skills they have learnt. Thanks for those who rendered the support in the past.

Children who would not have been opportune to go to school through our effort with the help of well-meaning good will people, so many children have completed high school and some are presently trying to complete high school. Some are currently in primary school and junior high school.
