The Co-founder of Divine Mercy Action Home Paolino Tipo said the children living in the orphanage are being affected due to lack of shelters, food and access to school due to rise in the amount of school fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Children in the orphanage live in tents which are mostly torn and a few having mosquito nets risking their health to malaria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEven shelters, as you see now, we don\u2019t have rooms that are well constructed. Some of them are still living in tents,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paolino cited lack of enough financial support as a factor that affects their work as other children tend to run back to the streets when they are unable to have all they wanted or get hardship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have about seven categories of children that we keep here. Others were born in prison, others their mothers were sentenced to life imprisonment and don\u2019t have close relatives to take care of them, others were found on the streets and others are from poor families and unable to get something for food,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He called on well-wishers to help the orphanage in all aspects whether donation of medicines, food or support in the fees of the children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen it enters the medical care, it\u2019s really expensive for us and also school fees in South Sudan is so expensive. The cost is too high. It\u2019s really challenging to pay about 72 to 100 children in school,\u201d he echoed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Turkish Embassy in partnership with the Turkish Red Crescent to South Sudan donated food stuffs to the orphanage on Thursday 7th<\/sup> April 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Turkish Ambassador Erdem Mutaf said the donation is to help the orphans as the Ramadan season approaches. It\u2019s the fifth time the Turkish Embassy is donating items and support to the orphanage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very meaningful because we are in the month of Ramadan which is a month of solidarity among human kinds and not only among Muslims but among all mankind from different religions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Erdem said the Turkish Embassy and the Turkish Coordination Cooperation Agency promised to give support by supplying medicines to help the orphanage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe will be stronger, powerful for giving more assistance to needy people, children and women associations and others,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
