2015 produced its fair share of changes and challenges, internally and externally, and it seems to have passed us by in the blink of an eye! We’re pleased to have achieved some of our short term goals for the year, like initiating the Granny Programme and installing appropriate toilets and basins for the toddlers.
As always, we are immensely grateful to our donors (who provide support in-cash and in-kind), volunteers, social workers and pro bono partners who make it possible for us to do what we do.
The well-being, health and happiness of our babies is always at the heart of everything that is done at PAAH. It’s them and their future lives that bring smiles to our faces and ignite new energy in us every day.
When we look back over the year, we can only smile and think of all the little ones who have joined us, those who are in our nursery now and those who are already in the arms of their forever families. We are priviledged to be able to love such little characters, each unique and special in their own ways.
While our service is about the quality of care and not the quantity, we are happy to be able to report the following numbers for the year:
