"Your help brings so much joy to these kids. Together we are transforming and building lives for a better tomorrow. I want to emphasise that without you, it just wouldn’t be possible. Thank you for your support."
Shekinah Sanctuary is a place full of happy, smiling children who are completely oblivious to the fact that they were disadvantaged. Each one of them laughing, talking, singing, playing, partaking of the meals, games, study and other activities. This is possible as a result of the generous contributions of our well-wishers. We are thankful for your donations that have helped us thus far, but the need is still great
Food, clothing, shelter, education and health care are of prime importance and we would like to provide the best for these children. Apart from other needs the deadline to pay the instalment for the house is inching closer; we have to raise 35,000 USD. A financial gift from you will be a help in reaching our goal. I would like you to read through this page and see the immediate needs listed below. It is said, “Giving people a little more than they expect is a good way to get back more than you’d expect” Robert Half
