Director of Juba Orphanage Home, Central Equatoria State, Angello Kenyi has appealed to lawmakers and governors to offer their support to orphans.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n During an event on Tuesday where he received assorted items donated by South Sudan Allied Consultants, Kenyi urged members of parliament and governors to contribute whatever they could to assist the orphaned children.<\/p>\n \u201cOur challenges are inadequate food, poor shelters, lack of health facilities, as well as money to pay requirements needed in schools for the children,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cI appeal to our members of parliament and the governors; they should come here and contribute even one South Sudanese pound; it can help these children,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n He added that orphanage home continue to face several challenges, ranging from lack of medicines, inadequate food, lack of incentive for workers, and lack of money to meet other requirements needed in the school.<\/p>\n Juba Orphanage Home, Central Equatoria state, hosts a total number of 83 orphans, of which 31 are girls and 51 are boys.<\/p>\n Despite economic hardship, the orphans continue to be in school as Angelo Kenyi, the Director for Juba Orphanage Home, Central Equatoria State, continues to knock at the doors of well-wishers to support them.<\/p>\n Director Kenyi added that during Christmas, the president usually visits the orphanage home or sends assistance, adding that there is a need for members of parliament and governors to do the same.<\/p>\n \u201cI urged the MPs, if they even get small money, to let them share with the children in the orphanage,\u201d he appealed.<\/p>\n Kenyi expressed that the orphanage home continues to suffer several challenges that need everyone’s responsibility to join hands and help.<\/p>\n \u201cAnother challenge is education; kids don\u2019t meet their educational requirements, such as uniforms, socks, books, pens, and bags. We have no money to buy them such requirements,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n He added that although the government schools are free, there are little fees that are needed for school administration for facilitation.<\/p>\n \u201cEven at government schools, these kids need money because these children need to drink water and soft drinks. Even the teachers teaching them are some volunteers, therefore leaving them to quit teaching,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n In 2019, during a presidential tour around Juba after Christmas Eve, South Sudan\u2019s president, Salva Kiir, promised orphans that his government would attend to their welfare.<\/p>\n He promised his continuous support, which was later manifested when he donated to them a car, including a continuous supply of some food items; that is according to the management of the orphanage.<\/p>\n Last year also, the Managing Director of Juba Orphanage Home, Angello Kenyi, appealed to the government and well-wishers to bail out the center as it faced financial challenges.<\/p>\n He noted that the facility has had many difficulties and needs assistance from people who are moved by God to support individuals who have lost their parents.<\/p>\n \u201cThere are many things that the children here are lacking, including school supplies, school fees for those who have completed senior high school and universities, treatment, food, clothing, and many other basic needs that a human being depends on,\u201d Mr. Kenyi said.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Yiep Joseph and Jacob Onuha Nelson Director of Juba Orphanage Home, Central Equatoria State, Angello Kenyi has appealed to lawmakers and governors to offer their support to orphans.
