We try to lend a helping hand to as many African children and families in need as possible and to provide them with an efficient, cross-sectoral and sustainable assistance. Beside our projects on the ground, we also organise a number of presentations and programmes in Hungary so that everyone can discover the cultural and natural values of the African continent. We try to reach as great a public as possible, inform it about our work and win over new and new supporters for our cause. You can find updates on our projects and events by surfing the News.

Changes in the orphanage

The launching of the orphan sponsorship programme made it necessary to manage the finances of the orphanage in an accounting system similar to that of the school: in itemized groups. Beside the new financial system, the orphanage also received new doors and windows, and a team of technical experts were making the house more beautiful by means of different repairing methods.

Some changes have taken place that concern the children's life: - because of their negligent work, we have dismissed two of our female social workers; - to replace them, we have employed two real ‘mothers’: Mother Bea, who had worked in the field of health before, has taken the children under her wing right away. She has been helping them since then with a great deal of love. Since she has been in the orphanage, children receive clean clothes every day and thanks to her competency, their health has also improved. At Mother Bea’s request, the orphanage is supplied with a great package of vitamins. Thanks to this, we can also devote a great care to the children's nutrition. We could raise the money available for food, and shopping also became easier. Now we can surprise the children with a variety of meals. The other lady, Mother Liena is widowed. Her children have already grown up, therefore she is the one who can spend the nights, too, with the children. Thus, at night not only the male social workers can take care of them, but a real Mother, too can stay with them, who can provide a remedy to all of their problems. Her profession is dressmaker, she has talent for all kinds of textile work. The girls all want to become dressmaker ever since she has arrived! Donation of medicines France’s quest for sponsors has resulted in success. To our surprise, the local drug producer company, where we usually buy great amounts of drugs for hospitals from the donations we receive, now supplied us with medicine as a gift, worth some thousands of dollars. The stock contains mainly medicine for children, medicine for the treatment of local diseases and different types of vitamins. Beside the orphanage, from this great amount we can also put aside a stock of medicine for the school. If anyone from the school needs medication, we direct them with the prescription to the orphanage, where Mother Bea gives them the right medicine(s) stocked and stored by Mother Bea herself. We have already had the chance to help a great deal of children and we will have now the opportunity to help even more!
