Community Work - • Get Involved | Shelter Home for Children

Community Work

Shelter provides food and financial aid to families. Its purpose is to preserve the family unit by providing the basic needs for the children such as food, financial assistance for tuition fees, schools fees, school bus expenses, etc.

Poverty does not warrant separation

We believe that poverty should never be the reason to remove a child from concerned and loving parents.

By providing "on-site" assistance to the parents, we hope that the assistance will filter down and benefit the children.
