Back to School 2022: TADERCAM Foundation Orphanage Gifts Kits to Kids

To better equip the children being catered for by the orphanage for the 2022/2023 academic year, the management of TADERCAM Foundation Orphanage located at Mile 19 Mbengwi on Saturday 3rd September 2022 carried out a distribution exercise of writing materials like books, pens, pencils, rulers, erasers among others including balls. The donation ceremony that has now become a yearly event was started in the year 2021.

Speaking on behalf of Tah Derick, the founder of the orphanage, Mr Mukumu Julius, Vice President of the Management Board disclosed that the foundation was founded some four years back to cater for underprivileged children aged between 5 and 10. In his words, "This program is aimed at taking the less privileged children to a permanent place where their basic needs will be supplied and to change them physically, mentally and psychologically."

Pastor Abanda Edwin is the Chaplain and Field Supervisor of the orphanage. Speaking to Mbengwi Online, he affirmed they know and are cognizant of the fact that it's a very tedious program that they're carrying out but they hope that with the benevolent people of Meta, lovers of the destitute, well wishers will come to the aid of the children.

As to the challenges being faced, he said they are many such as lodging but since a journey of a thousand miles begins with a step, they hope to in the nearest future have a school where the children can have adequate education. Pastor Abanda Edwin ended by thanking those who've been passing around to visit, encourage and support the children while encouraging others to also pass round and tap their blessings from the children who committed no crime but are orphaned today because of the ongoing Anglophone crisis.

TADERCAM Foundation Orphanage is located in a locally fenced structure in Mile 19 where Madam Rose Asombang has as daily task, the responsibility to serve as matron of the kids. Quizzed about their basic needs, she mentioned clothing and feeding plus water and firewood for cooking. She herself is a mother of 7 children and it is this her experience of bringing up children that she is using at the TADERCAM Foundation Orphanage thus making the task relatively easier for her.
