Urunji is NOT an orphanage:
Here is why >>>>
More than 95% of children who are placed in an orphanage come from an extended family from a community.
Placing them in an orphanage robs them of their sense of community belonging where they would thrive if nurtured and supported.
The solution
and why it works...
Studies show that more than 80% of children being kept in an orphanage have at least a living parent.
Guided by this fact, Urunji focuses on:
- * Integration
- * Child protection
- * Parenting skills
- * Livelihoods development
