Goal: every child should be a child

Children need so much more than that essential roof over their head. Love, attention, encouragement, safety, incentives, recognition, and growth are basic needs as well. This is only possible in a secure environment called "Home". To add to the homey feeling, one of the children's parents are the care keepers in the orphanage, which gives it a homey feeling. Besides, the maximum is set to 18 children. "

Set up of the orphanage

The orphanage has constructed a separate area where backpackers and volunteers can spend the night, with private bathroom and a spacious living area.

There are two rooms in the hostel, one family room and one room with two bunk beds.
