Who we are
Our Mission:

Most of the organization’s cases are as a result of parent’s inability to provide comprehensive care for their children. The most prevalent incidences are child abandonment. Cases dealt with: Single parent families without support; Child headed households, marital conflict where the children’s best interests are at stake.
