We currently rent a home, the kids residing here receive care and go to school. They are provided with the basic necessities of food, shelter, clothing, and medical care. SOURCE OF FUNDING
The home currently receives financial support from well wishers and local churches. Some money is generated from making briquette, selling our own made african prints ( bags, hoods, ponchos, tablemats, aprons ) and performing our own recorded songs in events. AREAS OF ENDEAVOR
Elroi Hope Centre provides the children with counseling and life skills training. We also help reintegrate children with their families and they collaborate with other organizations to provide older children with vocational training. PRESENT CHALLENGES
Securing adequate food is a major challenge. We also need clothing and funding to pay medical bills and school fees, and to pay rent - more so, funds to buy a land to build our own home. HOW YOU MAY HELP
