Objectives and Activities
The Objectives of Baby Angels Organisation Limited are:
To relieve poverty among underprivileged children and their families world-wide by financially supporting meaningful development initiatives, aiming to promote positive change within their lives and help build sustainable livelihoods .
The main activity undertaken in relation to the objectives is fundraising through our supporters in the world’s wealthiest nations, and re-distribution of that wealth to support the world’s poorest children through locally established social projects.
During the current financial period, Baby Angels Organisation Limited has supported the following projects:
-
1) Food Programme for Orphans & Vulnerable Children in Port Elizabeth South Africa - through Emmanuel Advice & Care Centre (EACC). (Grant Value £900)
-
EACC works in collaboration with Food Forward SA to deliver the child food programme. Baby Angels grants £75 per month to enable Emmanuel to provide continuity of this service to the community. Current attendance is approximately 200 children 2 times a week, including some adults and senior community members. The project provides over 1,600 meals per month to vulnerable children from approx. 67 local families.
The management and staff of Emmanuel have expressed their gratitude for the continued support of Baby Angels which has allowed them to provide a beacon of hope in uncertain times.
- 2) Rafiki Foster Care – Supporting Cost of Operations ( Grant Value £600.00 ) Rafiki Foster Care is a non-profit community organisation set up by and for local people in Kenya. Rafiki Foster Care provides a complete care programme for children at risk of forced labour, exploitation, sexual abuse and drug use, due to family circumstances. They work collaboratively with vulnerable families in the region to provide residential respite care for their younger children, and foster homes to children without families.
