As part of its commitment to uplifting vulnerable children, Caring Hands International (CHI), through its Children and Youths Initiative, visited a Children’s Home and Rehabilitation Center last week. The visit aimed to provide support, care, and encouragement to orphans, homeless, and less privileged children, ensuring they receive the necessary resources for a healthier and brighter future.
Health Awareness and Engagement
During the visit, CHI volunteers engaged the children in an educational health talk on personal and environmental sanitation—a crucial aspect of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The discussion emphasized the importance of cleanliness in preventing diseases and promoting overall well-being.
Donation of Essential Items
To further support the children’s daily needs, CHI donated a variety of essential items, including:
- Mattresses and toiletries (detergents, soaps, and sanitary items)
- Writing materials (CHI-branded exercise books, pens, and pencils)
- Food supplies (yams, beans, maize, gari, instant noodles)
- Eating utensils (bowls and spoons)
-
Impact and Encouragement
The children and staff at the center warmly received the gifts with deep appreciation, expressing gratitude for CHI’s generosity and unwavering support. The Executive Director, Tola Obilomo, commended the caregivers for their dedication and encouraged them to continue their selfless service to the children. She reaffirmed CHI’s commitment to standing by vulnerable children and ensuring they receive the care and attention they deserve.
Conclusion
The visit to the Children’s Home and Rehabilitation Center was a meaningful and impactful experience for both CHI and the children. By addressing their health, education, and basic needs, CHI continues to play a vital role in improving the lives of orphans and less privileged children in society.
