Scripture

Psalm 82:3 -  Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.

Quote

"The community, which includes parents, teachers, and social workers, has seen great changes in the children who come to the Day Center.  These changes include improving the child's life quality, improving relationships and friendships at school, and involvement in social activities in the church and foundation." - Eriola Kanani

Description

The Day Center was opened in 2011 in Libonik, Albania. The focus of the Day Center is to prevent begging on the street and help care for children who have not been loved and are in need of physical, social, and psychological care. Fifty-two children attend the Day Center, aged 3-13, which we care for daily. 

Some of the specific areas that are addressed in the Day Center are:

 

  • The missing of love and care at home

  • Lack of dignity from society.

  • Poor hygiene

  • Poor and insufficient nutrition

  • Lack of support in their education

  • Little to no understanding of who God is and that He loves them

  • Inability to function appropriately in relationships with others and in society.

  • Lack of child rights and child protection mechanisms.

  • Nonfunctional families.

The daily activity in the Day Center consists of:

 

  • The staff helps the children with homework.

  • The staff teaches the children English.

  • The staff provides activities/games for the children to play.

  • The staff provides a biblical devotional every day.

  • The children attend the church’s children's program in the village they live in weekly.

  • The staff helps the children get registered for school.

  • The Day Center helps to provide books, school supplies, and clothes.

  • The Day Center provides a meal daily to the children.

  • The staff counsels the children’s parents/guardians on how to improve their family lifestyle.
