There are not enough beds to go around for all of the children.

School is taught in different rooms and open areas throughout the orphanage compound, as there is currently no school building for the children.  Some children even have class in old bird houses.

There are not enough Aunties to care for the children.  It is not uncommon for one Auntie to cook, clean, and look after up to 8 young children.  So, you may find that many of the young ones are sitting, crawling or walking around alone.

The children’s diet consists of rice, beans, cassava food, yam, corn and millet porridge and various sauces.  

Their ideal diet would add meat/fish, eggs, fruits and vegetables.
