Checkers break after school today with baba Castro, our Majengo gardener! Though his primary duty may be gardening, playing and mentoring the Majengo kids is just as important!
.
Our Guardianship Program ensures each child is mentored and monitored by a mama or baba at Majengo. This helps the children receive quality and individualized care. 😄😜👨‍👦👩‍👧

In order to clean the floors in our houses, we collect water from standpipes around the center. These standpipes also help us water our gardens and sometimes wash our clothes. Last year, we drastically increased our WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) budget to include more cleaning products.

.
To support our WASH & Sanitation Programs, donate online at www.majengo.org. A donation of $50 can help provide cleaning products that help kill bacteria and viruses on high-touch surfaces. ...
