A Full Life

Our Objective:

A Full Life has been called to provide support for orphans in developing countries. More specifically, we will be assisting a child in the transition from institutional life in the orphanage to an independent life outside of it. Most of these orphans, upon reaching adulthood, find themselves living on the streets, turning to crime and prostitution in a desperate attempt at survival. With a minimal education and little or no social skills for life outside the orphanage or employment, there is usually no alternative option.

A Full Life will raise funds and create transition homes where orphans and abandoned street children can live, work and learn the skills needed to move on to a successful independent life.

In any location that we work we will reach out to other charitable organisations who are working with other communities of orphans. We will work alongside them and support them with our transitional homes, the life skills training content and employment skills training and facilities.
