Challenges

Food Stuffs

In order to provide for the more than 4,500 people every day, we need donations urgently. The prices of food stuffs in Nigeria are increasing steadily.

Medical Care

In our health centre mild sicknesses and injuries can be treated. However, there is great lack of medicines and equipment. Besides that, we need a vehicle for emergencies and to take those with more severe ailments to hospitals in the city.

Accomodations and Sanitary Facilities

At the moment about 200 children share a room, which results in extremely congested space conditions. The walls of those houses that were made from wood many years ago have become leaky with time and no more offer sufficient shelter from cold and rain.
Further, there is need of more toilets and bathrooms.

School Fees

We need financial support for all students who are currently studying medicine, law, engineering, nursing, etc. at various universities, or who have recently been accepted to university.

This is a dream come true for them, but it also comes with high costs, such as admission fees, tuition fees, accommodation, textbooks, etc.

School Buildings

In 2013 we started building 28 class rooms, but due to financial reasons we were not able to complete all of them. Walls need to be rendered, ceiling, floors, windows and doors need to be fixed. There is lack of desks and chairs which results in many children sitting on the floor during class.
Moreover, our class rooms are now overcrowded. More school facilities need to be built.

Provision of Other Basic Supplies

We need financial support in order to offer a basic supply with electricity and water daily. For this, enormous amounts of diesel and fuel for our generators are needed. Further, there are high costs for regular waste collection and wastewater disposal.
We also need essential goods like sanitary articles, body care products, clothes and much more.
