The Elim Orphanage aims to provide a safe, healthy place for children to live. When we visited they had just received 13 new children. One of them who was specifically introduced to us has been rescued from a life on the streets. The new children had just attended their first day of school. There is a Montessori-style preschool on-site, but school-age kids go to area schools.Besides providing food, clothing, a safe place to sleep and loving supervision, there are on-site opportunities for vocational training: animal husbandry (chickens), the textile trade (sewing), and human services (child care). At least one Elim graduate now works there caring for the children; another young man is hoping to attend seminary.
