There has been no Government help since 2002. The Friends of MRCH now contribute to 80% of the daily running costs of the Home.

Funds sent to the Home by FoMRCH cover particular needs:

Food: the children live on a very meagre diet. Your donations could help add protein, fruit and vegetables.

Clothing: in particular school uniforms. Children are not allowed to attend school without them.

Medical care: even basic medicines are out of their reach. There are 20 children in home who are HIV positive. It costs £41 per month per child for drugs.

Extra staff: there are 14 care staff caring for 150 children, round the clock.

The most effective way for you to give is via our treasurer who is in constant contact with the home, monitoring current needs. Money is sent regularly at approximately 5 weekly intervals.
