ILEMBULA CHILDREN’S HOME (ORPHANAGE CENTRE)

ILEMBULA CHILDREN’S HOME (ORPHANAGE CENTRE)

 

A  new building near the NURU area was finished in 2003.  From 10th December 2003, the orphan children shifted to this new building.  The cost of building this centre was supported by donations from the “Friends of Ilembula” in Oulu, Finland through Dr. Leena Pasanen (the paediatrician of this hospital).

 

We really appreciate this support from the “Friends of Ilembula” and FELM for their generous donations to this centre.

 

At present there are 8 staff in the children’s home who are working in three shifts for 24 hours.
