“We have been doing this visitation on festive periods like Sallah, Christmas and Easter to see whether there are changes and if there are places where we can come in to assist.
The program manager of the foundation said that the sallah period and as an NGO, we want the orphans to be part of this celebration, just like any other child living with his or her parents.
“We want them to feel good, therefore, we have to embrace them, show them love, care and concern to enable them to feel that the society cares for them.
“As people all over the world celebrate Eid el-fitr, children with parents will have new clothes and food among others for the festive period.
“Unfortunately, those in the orphanages may not have similar privilege, hence the need for the society to do something that would gladden their hearts,’’ Ahmed-Chikaji said.
He, therefore, appealed to corporate organisations, NGOs and individuals to come to the aid of the orphans.
