Angel Cottage, Kenya
Angel Cottage is a refuge for vulnerable children and orphans. It was created to provide a safe haven for deaf children, as these children are frequently abused, abandoned and neglected.
Many are traumatized and withdrawn as a result of violent physical abuse or from years of being unable to communicate. The loving and supportive atmosphere of Angel Cottage, allows these children to develop trust and learn to express themselves within a safe and caring environment.
With the increase of HIV and AIDs, more children are being orphaned or abandoned in the slum and the pressures on Angel Cottage are immense.
Angel Cottage is no longer exclusively for deaf children, however due to limited resources accommodation is severely over-extended and cramped. Currently children are sleeping two or even three to a bed.
Conditions are difficult and it is just not possible to squeeze even one more child into Angel Cottage. There are many children in very desperate situations waiting to be admitted. Their well-being and maybe even their lives depend on getting a place in Angel Cottage.
A new Angel Cottage is urgently needed. Land has been purchased and foundations dug…but further funds are needed to complete this project. The new refuge, which will be home to 80 children, is outside the slum and will give the children room to play and to enjoy their childhood.
Angel Cottage provides a safe and loving home for children who have been orphaned, abandoned or whose parents are currently unable to care for them.
