PROJECTS & ACHIEVEMENTS
Featherstale Children's Village continues to be a loving home for 100+ children. Before our guardianship, some of the children were neglected, abused or abandoned. Other special needs children come to live at the village with their single mothers. The mothers are given the opportunity to earn an income working as caregivers or have the opportunity to work out in the community knowing their children are being cared for. The nurses and therapy team continued to bring progress and improvement to the children children's lives.
Angels Gate Center for Street Involved Children continues to be a safe home, aiding in the rehabilitation of boys who have suffered traumatic events living on the streets. Depending on their age and proficiency level, the boys attend primary and secondary school, or vocational and college course. The Music and Arts School, located next to Angels Gate, continues to provide the boys an outlet for self-expression and healing through music and art. Thirty-three boys lived at Angels Gate during 2024.
Community Outreach continues to provide nutritional support and hygiene packages to underprivileged families in the local communities. The outreach team works tirelessly to identify children in need of rescue and support people in crisis and provide assistance to individuals in need of medical care and hospitalization.
Dog Rescue Shelter continues to provide essential care, including medical treatment and shelter, for abandoned or mistreated dogs, improving their quality of life and giving them a chance at adoption. Through education and community outreach, the dog rescue aims to help shift cultural attitudes towards animals, fostering a more compassionate and humane society. A total of 125 dogs happily resided at the shelter in 2024.
Neema’s Story
Neema’s story is a powerful testament to the lifechanging impact of opportunity and support. Born into poverty, Neema faced significant barriers to education and personal growth. Yet, through resilience and unwavering determination, she held on to her dreams.
With the help of The Creator Share Foundation, Neema completed secondary school and went on to pursue a diploma in pharmacy—thriving academically and growing in confidence.
Recognizing both her potential and her deep desire to give back, The Creator Share Foundation welcomed Neema into its team upon her graduation. She serves as a pharmacist and as a role model. Showing the children no dream is out of reach.
