🏢 About the local organisation
Little Prinz Children's Center is a self-help group, which was initiated in May 2009 to help the neglected, abandoned and orphaned children, as well as to help eradicate jiggers (a parasite that attacks the skin), thus creating a happier, healthier and better life for children. The project has so far been able to treat at least 1,250 jigger-affected children and managed to buy a twelve-roomed building with the aim of starting an orphanage. The building also has a farm, which the project intends to start cultivating soon in order to generate food and income for the children. However, the project also has some challenges in terms of an inadequate number of staff as well as hostility from some families in the community.
