The Destitute Children’s Home Kohima celebrated their 5th foundation day today at their home at Kezieke, Kohima.
Destitute Children’s Home Founder Kevilenuo Chadi (Alebu) in a brief address mentioned that the Home was founded on November 26, 2018, and was registered under the government as a charitable society for Destitute Children.
Narrating her journey, Alebu mentioned that her late mother’s compassionate nature for the less fortunate ones made her develop empathy with the needs of unfortunate children, and led her to take care of the children. “This home shelters abandoned children, abused, neglected, orphaned and semi orphans. At present there are 9 destitute children under this home,” mentioned Alebu.
She further shared that some children suffered the most when their parents separated or abandoned them, while there are children who inspite of having both parents are unable to support and raise them because of of unfortunate circumstances or financial challenges.
“Such is the plight of the children who are presently under the care of the shelter home. This mission is a shared dream of my family to mould n shape the children to stand on their feet,” voiced Alebu.
The first and foremost aim for the Home is to provide education, according to Alebu, because that is the only way for their future towards self sufficiency. Further, Chadi also stated that the children at the Home has so far improved in terms of their studies as well as spirituality.
“On World Sunday School Day, few of them were also awarded for their attendance in Sunday school classes and even in studies some of them have secured top positions,” shared Chadi.
She also highlighted that people came to know about their Home through social media after an article in the daily newspapers which led many to visit their home including different church denominations, organizations, and individuals.
