First Lady Arya Ali yesterday launched an ‘Adopt-an-Orphanage’ initiative with a view to improving the welfare of vulnerable children.
According to an Office of the First Lady release yesterday, a total of eight orphanages have been ‘adopted’ by corporate sponsors for a minimum of 6-12 months. Through a Memorandum of Understanding, those businesses have committed to providing financial support to these institutions to cover monthly overhead expenses which include but are not limited to utilities and repairs and maintenance. This will be done with oversight from the Ministry of Human Services and Social Security.
