In Ol Kalou, several educational institutions are dedicated to providing these children with learning opportunities. From primary schools to vocational training centers, these institutions equip orphans with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive.
4. The Healing Power of Art and Sports: Art and sports play a vital role in the emotional and psychological well-being of orphans. Living Love Ministries recognizes this, and we encourage children to express themselves creatively and engage in sports activities. Art therapy and sports programs not only provide a means of self-expression but also foster teamwork, discipline, and resilience among the young ones.
5. Creating Sustainable Livelihoods: In addition to education, initiatives focused on creating sustainable livelihoods are crucial in helping orphans become self-reliant.
