The Lifeline Fund’s flagship project – the organisation’s most successful so far – is currently undergoing some new improvements and work is said to be progressing well.
The Namisu Orphan Village caters for the needs of orphaned and disadvantaged children in Malawi, one of the poorest countries in the world. The coordinators and volunteers that make up the Lifeline Fund are focusing their attention on the most vulnerable Malawian children in their many projects, including those with serious disabilities.
Not having anyone to look after them –to provide them with food, water, healthcare and education – is bad enough for Malawi’s orphaned children, but imagine how difficult it is having a disability as well.
To help these disabled children, the Lifeline Fund is building a new dormitory at Namisu specially to cater to their needs. The building and facilities are designed to make life easier for those with disabilities or mobility problems whilst they learn and play.
The latest reports suggest that good progress is being made on the new dormitory, with specially adapted swings and a number of wooden remedial toys (such as horses on wheels) being made for the children. The unit is already operational, and 40 children every day can now attend there.
