THE GIRLS AT HOME

As we have been visiting our beneficiary families, we thought we should bring you some images of what our children do when they are at home. Its holiday time now and the children get to assist at home with a number of chores. We encourage the care givers to allow the children time to rest and play, but its also an opportunity for more parent-child contact. Through that the child learns several life skills which prepare them for adult life.
The boys normally help in fetching water(most families dont have running water at home and have to fetch from a common source some metres or a kilometre from home), grazing the animals esp goats and cows if any and fetching firewood for cooking.
The girls normally assist with taking care of younger children at home, preparing and cooking food and some light chores around the house.
