Lack of Bedding Impacts Children’s Health
Poverty, food insecurity, and lack of access to quality education are persistent issues faced in this part of the world. CVRC has rescued many vulnerable children who were living on the streets and provides food and shelter for them. The sleeping quarters had very limited supplies, so children had been sleeping on the floor, which is dusty and can be very cold. Some children were getting sick from sleeping in these conditions.
New Bedding Improves Sleeping Conditions
The donation from Luena Foundation was used to buy 15 mattresses and transport them to CVRC and to buy and transport materials to construct durable metal bunk bed frames. These new frames are more sanitary as well as offer more space in the sleeping quarters and keep the mattresses in good condition for a longer period of time.
Meet our Partner Community-Based Organization
Christ Victory Rescue Centre (CVRC) was established in November 2023 in response to a severe crisis involving countless children who were starving, using drugs, and dying on the streets. CVRC aims to foster each and every rescued child through attentive care, essential resources, and life skills. Recognizing the importance of holistic care, we have implemented various initiatives to address their physical, emotional, and educational needs.
