🏢 About the local organisation
Little Prinz Children's Help 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 a better life for the children. The project has so far been able to treat at least 1,250 jigger-affected children, taken two malnourished children, and saw them change completely, and bought a twelve-roomed building with the aim of starting an orphanage. The building also has a farmwhich the project intends to start cultivating soon, as well as to start rabbit and chicken keeping for food and to generate an 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.
