Already since 2001, we support the homonymous orphanage of Aminata Dimakané in Conakry, the capital of Guinea in West Africa. Meanwhile, in the district of Matam, the state-registered “orphans mother” cares for 24 children aged 1 to 17 years .
Aminata has a heart of gold. She already accomodated street kids when she was still living in a hut in the slums. The orphans are partly refugee victims of the many civil wars in West Africa or have been abandoned by their parents because of the economically desolate situation. In early 2008 only a governmental reshuffle could prevent a civil war.
We provide not only accommodation, food and care but especially regular medical care as well as the visit of a private school. In addition to Aminata, we employ two helpers for laundry and cooking, a teacher for homework assistance and tutoring and an administrator.
A local NGO is responsible for the project management and reporting. In addition, we are supported by our children but also by many volunteers of two Christian communities, as well as the English-speaking women. Our contractual doctor examines all children on a weekly basis. She vaccinates the children and takes care of all other necessary medical treatment. We do have an epileptical child, a hearing impared child and a retarded child.
These services are financed exclusively through donations, € 1,750 per month. Now we would be very pleased having additional funding to provide vocational training for the older children.
Medicine are also very welcome. These we can bring to Africa ourselves.
