Orphanage Support

Caring for Children Across Bunda

Since its establishment in 2016, the Diocese of Bunda’s Orphanage Support program has been a safe haven for the most vulnerable children in our region. Operating across the entire community of Bunda, including nearby villages and parishes, we are currently transforming the lives of approximately 270 children who have nowhere else to turn.

The Children We Serve

Many of the children who arrive at our doors have experienced unimaginable hardships, including a severe lack of basic needs, parental care, and access to education. We proudly open our doors to protect and serve:

• Abandoned newborns and babies
• Orphans and foundlings
• Marginalized children and those from extreme poverty
• Children with albinism
• Children with disabilities

Most arrive having gone without three things at once: basic needs, parental care, and access to education.

How the Program Helps

The program meets those needs directly and consistently.

• Basic needs: food, shelter, clothing, and daily care.
• Education: free schooling, so every child can learn and build a future.
• Children's rights: protection, dignity, and advocacy for children who are often overlooked.

What Has Changed

For the children in the program's care, the difference is visible in everyday life.

• They have parental care: caregivers and religious sisters who know each child by name.
• They are healthier and happier: regular meals, clean surroundings, and consistent attention.
• They are in school: learning alongside their peers rather than being left behind.
• Their basic needs are met: the daily worry of food and shelter has been lifted.
