HOW YOU CAN HELP
OUR NEEDS.
The home needs financial support to reduce the uncertainty each month and give greater stability and quality of life, starting with the very basics.
​
100% of all donations directly benefits the children.
Food & Hygiene
The home relies heavily on food donations from the local community.
This is not guaranteed and the children’s diet can vary significantly.
​
Our priority is regular nutritious meals.
Shoes & Clothes
Clothing and shoes are in constant need, both for school and play.
More than just functional, they also bring dignity and happiness.
School Supplies
School children need to provide their own books, pens and other materials.
The rising cost of school transport has further increased the financial pressures.
Medical Care
Several of the children have medical conditions.
​
Unexpected medical bills require the home to cut back on food and other necessities.
Our Dream
The orphanage is a two-room rented building, with one window, two toilets and no outside space.
The children play in the road.
Long term, the goal is for Talita to build its own home.
​
Land has been donated by the church, but will require significant support over the next 5-10 years to make this a reality.

Donations can be made to Talita Kum's account or by Yape and PayPal.
