Porridge Club

This still has a huge impact on us, the place it all started. The numbers in the club are 22 ladies with children. They continue to have porridge, rudimentary education and health care. 

Many of the original ladies have moved on, their children now in day care, which we still support, or school but it is great to know that these ladies are now self-sufficient and are able to support their families. The changes in their health and well-being is heart warming. 

But some still remain and these require support all be it a house, clothing or a loan to get them started on the road to being self-sufficient. Their friendship remains strong and every year it is a delight to see them again, to listen to their stories and to see if we can offer any further support.
