Kani Boy’s Orphanage – Vocational training

To ensure a more stable power supply to our computer and light engineering workshops we invested in a substantial electrical transformer at this site. We are also extending the transformer cabling so that the power supply to the nearby village school is on a par with that to the orphanage.

We had a long and very positive discussion with the school headmistress about the relationship between the orphanage and the school/village, and it seems that our project work is acting as an important catalyst in bringing the two together. This has long been an important element of our project work – ensuring that, in supporting an impoverished orphanage or youth development centre, we do not (however inadvertently) create a situation, where the equally impoverished villagers do not feel that they have been further disadvantaged.
