  Description

  My Name is David. The director and founder of the Children's Centre. I am passionate about the needy and vulnerable children and those born with disabilities.
  I was raised up by needy and poor parents. At some point they failed to support my education and I struggled through life. My sister a tailor,picked me on and other good samaritans came in later to help. This back ground pushes me and motivates me to help others .

  OUR TESTIMONY.
  Our daughter Esther (third born) is born with Down syndrome and we discovered it at three months. It was long after she was born.

Come, let's join hands together to fight vulnerability among children and their families and their community at large.
