Danai Children’s Home was established in 2002 by Gogo Saungweme, who has since passed away. A board of trustees now manages the home. There was a gap in the community for abandoned, abused and orphaned children, hence the birthing of the vision. The institution has a maximum capacity of 25 children. Currently, 29 children are residents at the home, 15 Girls and 14 boys. The vision is to ensure that children at Danai grow up in an environment where they can discover their purpose in life and learn to walk in self-control and wisdom, growing stronger in spirit, so that they can fulfil their purpose. “And the child grew strong in body and wise in spirit.
