First Local Orphan Family in Ngumbe Helped By ORBUS
As the Orbus Community Centre for Orphan Care moves toward completion we continue to familiarize ourselves with the local community and try to ascertain the orphan situation and the needs of these children.

We enquired as to their situation from neighbours and found that they were in need of assistance with pre-school fees for the 5 year old boy and clothing and blankets.

Why was it so important?
