Children in Bela-Bela

Huis Talje Children's Home For severely physically and mentally handicapped children.

Rotary made a home available and a management committee of local volunteers were elected. This boy was the inspiration that lead to the event. Our Children cannot be put in a normal children’s home because of their disabilities. Specialized care is needed as well as special attention to their dietary needs. Facilitate the development of human capacity, quality of life and self-reliance within a caring and enabling environment. Co-operate and network with Government, like-minded organizations and institutions to avoid duplication and keep abreast of all developments related to child welfare. Provide care for all children referred by court order, the various departments and the surrounding communities to the best of our ability and financial resources. To provide educational stimulation to children, with the capacity for it. Raise the funding needed for our programmers through local community events, working with service organizations and through establishing a formal fundraising drive. Huis Talje Children’s Home service to children with special needs is in compliance with the four levels on residence, residential facilities for persons with disabilities. A small monthly fee is charged for taking care of the children, but some parents can’t pay this nominal cost and thus support must be sought elsewhere. To date the bulk of the support needed for the project has come from the surrounding community. The management committee is made up of local volunteers, and the local community helps with donations of food, clothing, equipment and labour. Local professionals help with services such as auditing, medical care, etc. Financial assistance is needed, and although the local service organizations such as the Rotary Club raise funds for the project, our local community is struggling and now we must call on Organisations as yourself, for assistance.
