Residential Child Care Facility (RCCF)

The Residential Child Care Facility (RCCF) is for about 360 children. The children are grouped together according to age into six groups. Each of these groups is identified by a name and is supervised by housemothers, who affectionately care for each of the children and ensures that the children have their food, baths, keep good health/hygiene and are involved in other related activities.

 

In this facility the children sleep on thick quilts laid out on the ground and which is rolled up and stacked daily. Each child is provided with safe shelter bedding, clothing, soap, oil and breakfast, lunch, an evening snack after school and dinner

Children up to the age of about 8 years and sick children have warm water baths, the remaining have cold water baths.

Depending on the study schedule, they are permitted to play indoor/outdoor games, read, listen music or view TV on week-ends and holidays.
