These items are for our orphan families who live in remote and isolated areas in the mountains. The temperature drops considerably durinbg the winter months and most families have extremely poor housing and little adequate shelter. Also, our Home Based Care patients, most of whom are terminally ill, also suffer with the cold and have litttle or no blankets.
This will make a huge difference. Having just completed a survey on our orphan families, we find that nearly all have inadequate clothing and blankets for the coming cold season, this includes babies and young children. Our home based care patioents obviously succumb to the cold because of their ill health and infirmity.
