Berkat Children’s Home

Berkat Children’s Home is created for ministering and caring for the deprived, suffering children in the community, restoring broken lives of innocent victims caused by tragedy, impoverished and abused.

Berkat Children’s Home strives to create a home like atmosphere with house parents as role models, social workers to help and assist in restoring the family life and activities. The children arrive at our home with confusion and the feeling of not being wanted, often depraved of love, proper shelter and nourishment. These children were removed from their home because of derelict parents, or have suffered the heartbreak of a home shattered by divorce, run away parents, abandoned or had tragically lost one or both parents. These are the majority of the children admitted at Berkat Children’s Home.

To undo the violent tragedy that has happened to the children takes a process of tender loving care and a health environment. To add to the healing process, we have in placed a therapeutic practical education for the children and also a group of volunteer tuition teachers to help in the formal education. We believe that these are vital for the growth of each child. We continuously work towards providing a Home like atmosphere that the children can call their own. We provide a parent-child relationship and to build brotherhood among the children, equipping them in their growth towards adulthood. Berkat Children’s Home is a home for them.

Berkat Children’s Home is non-profit organization, set up to help underprivileged children for all walks of life, race and religion.
