The goal of the Joachim Anbagam orphanage is to offer basic life conditions for orphaned kids and the disadvantaged and promote their education to procure them a new life option that does not infringe their human rights. Opened in 2009, the shelter was constructed and equipped by the Foundation to give a home and education to 150 minors.
These minors study the first 6 years of primary school in St. Anna School, because of the agreement with the Government, the ones that finish are then transferred to another education center that belongs to the Congregation of the Sister of St. Anna to continue their education.
Though the residence of Joachim Anbagam has a capacity for 150 boys and girls, the lack of resources allows space for only 130 minors. The economic crisis and the reduction of private help has made the Foundation request for more support so this orphanage can continue it work and educating minors that really need it.
The maintenance of this shelter that gives a place to live and attends to the basic needs of these minors, allows them to access an education, keeping them away from child labor and poverty, so that they can have access to a better future.
