Komamboga Children

The Komamboga Children, originally from the Komamboga Children’s Home, have been successfully placed with new families. Placements have all been made with full government approval and the children are now happy and settled.

For some children it has been possible to trace members from their wider family; for others, suitable permanent foster families have been found. An exciting development has been that some of the previous Komamboga children who are now adults, have provided permanent foster families for some of the younger children.

The project is headed up by Julius, the former director of the Children’s home who oversaw the Home for many years and knows all the children well. He brings many years of expertise, experience and a desire to see the best possible outcomes for the children.

Working with the children and their families, Julius regularly visits them to ensure that both children and family members are happy, giving additional support where needed. He is also committed to finding the best, most appropriate, school for each child. CPA continues to pay school fees until children complete their education.

Holistic Development and Workshops

Beyond academics, the children’s holistic development has been a key focus of our efforts. During the recent holidays, we organized a workshop aimed at equipping the children with essential life skills. The workshop covered a range of important topics, including:

Making Right Choices

Here we were teaching the children the importance of making informed and ethical decisions in their daily lives.

Decision Making

Here we were providing strategies for effective problem-solving and decision-making processes as they go about their lives at school and out of school.

Patriotism

Here we were instilling a sense of national pride and the importance of contributing positively to their communities.

Honour of God

Here we were reinforcing the values of faith and spirituality, encouraging the children to live their lives with integrity and reverence for God.

These sessions were not only educational but also inspirational, helping the children to build a strong moral foundation and develop into well-rounded individuals.

Gratitude and Acknowledgements

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the friends of Komamboga children for your unwavering support and commitment to the children. Your contributions have been pivotal in providing these children with opportunities to grow, learn, and succeed.

The progress of the Komamboga children is a shared success, made possible by your generosity and dedication. As we continue to nurture and support these young minds, we are filled with hope for their bright futures. Thank you for being an integral part of their great journey.

Many blessings.

Yours sincerely,
