We provide much needed educational, sporting and recreational materials and facilities, and just as important, an oasis where children can come to learn in a peaceful, friendly and relaxed environment.

As important as the provision of educational and recreational materials and facilities, is our aim to boost the self-confidence of these children. Many come from very deprived and difficult backgrounds. From an early age, they have to work very hard to help support their families. Beating is commonplace in the home and at school. Children are discouraged by negative attitudes. Self-esteem is often very low.
