BODY OF CHRIST CHILDREN’S HOME

Body of Christ Children’s Home was established in the year 2005 by a former government staff who always had a dream of starting a humanitarian center for the needy, poor, less fortunate and vulnerable children in society. She got a house, which was not in use, rented, furnished and started taking care of the vulnerable children. The number kept growing until she realized that feeding children alone was not enough. She then started an Early Childhood Development School within the center where children could get basic needs such as education, food and shelter. The project, therefore, has children home 164 children. Those who permanently reside in the home are 50 children while those who attend day activities like learning, daycare and feeding are 125. The Early Childhood Development School school helps to generate income for the project. The school runs from Pre-primary one to grade 1-5.
