Hello everyone, I'll be bring the update concerning our project "visit to orphanages". Hearts of Gold Children's Hospice will be the first orphanage in which we will visit, we made a visit yo them to make our intentions known to them and they were very much glad to invite use over.


About Hearts of Gold Children's Hospice.

The Hospice caters for 39 abandoned children suffering from various types of physical and mental disabilities. Some of these children were born with severe congenital abnormalities. Because of economic problems in Nigeria, parents of these children readily abandon these children. Stigmatization is also a major cause of abandonment. Hearts of Gold is a Christian Hospice, located at 75, Alhaji Masha Road, Onile Go girl Bust Stop, Surulere, Lagos Nigeria. And we believe that every human being deserve to be loved.



Orphanages are an important part of our society as they give children the kind of upbringing they need regardless of their family situation. Many will take in children as young as infants and do the best they can to raise them and give them proper nutrition and care they need to grow healthy and strong.
Too often children find themselves in a situation where they don't have parents to take care of them. The reasons can be many, but at the end the result is the same, they become kids with no where to go and no way to get the proper care they need. This is one of the importance, reasons and why we need to visit orphanages more often to help out the kids so they don't feel completely left out.
The main objective of the orphanage is to create a positive loving environment in which the often abandoned and neglected children feel at home and cared for, as a basis for social and professional development. A significant effort is invested in re-socializing the children after they come in. Often there is initial mistrust against adults due to abuse. In addition my goal is to see that all children are significantly on the same page with their age groups with respect to schooling and education.



About girls foundation

The girls foundation is a project set up to enlighten young ladies of their norms and value, advocate for the girl-child, encourage and support them with the little we can.We believe the girl-child can bring about change in our society. Women are essential to the nation because they take care of its children, the children are the future leaders of the nation, if you are familiar with the bible you must have heard of this verse “train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he won‟t depart from it”.Girls foundation was founded by a group of selfless ladies, it is a non�governmental organization an d believes in decentralization.

VISION:-

  • To enlighten youths of their purpose in life. We believe once you know the truth and purpose of your existence you are free, the journey to success and failure now lies in your hands.
  • Rape free society- Rape is a sexual assault carried out against a person forcefully. The rate at which girls are being raped these days is alarming, we are also humans and we deserve respect. Most rape victims suffer from trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder, serious injuries and in some cases pregnancy and sexually transmitted infection.
  • Fight against domestic violence- it is also known as intimate partner violence, domestic abuse or family violence ; it's a form of violence committed in a domestic or family setting, such as in marriage or cohabitation. It is called intimate partner violence when committed by spouse and called family violence when it involves the kids, parents or elders. Domestic violence has several effects on human that's is why girls foundation is picking it up. Effects of domestic violence
    includes :
    1.) Physical effect: This involves bruises round the victim, broken wrists, shortness of breath etc.
    2.) Mental effect: This involves PTSD (post-traumatic stress),
    pressing, drug abuse, suicidal thoughts etc.
    3.) Emotional effect: This involves feeling unworthy, hopeless and not motivated etc.
    4.)It affects the development of the kids and they suffer from
    depression, anxiety, fear etc
    Domestic violence always produces an international cycles of
    violence. Funny, only few people see themselves as being abused; considering it as family matter.
  • Girl education: Some people still believe that training a female child is a waste of time and money 'cause they feel she'd still end up in the kitchen, well sorry to disappoint you but ladies can do much more than just being house wives, lots of educated women are doing fine in our society today. Every child deserves equal right to education.We don't think anyone should be treated differently because of their gender, we are all one and it's high time we realized that.

CONCLUSION:-

The primary aim of the girls foundation is to enlighten youths and increase the awareness of the steem blockchain and steemit. Giving girls the ability to create wealth with their writing skills, without waiting for the government intervention.
