Child Relief Center is a Christian organization and wants to go by God's word in Proverbs 22:6a which says that we should train up a child the way he should go. We have therefore decided to give a formal education of the village child by setting up preschools for them. We will also introduce them to sound Christian doctrines which will guide them to lead a morally upright lives when they grow up. Kpoi-Ete is a small village community and the main occupation of the people is farming. Parents of these children normally take them to the farm and leave them under a shade or even sometimes where there is no shade leave them in the sun. This puts the lives of the children at risk and even sometimes make them very sick. Again, some parents who think taking their kids to the farm will retard their work leave them in the care of their brothers/sisters who are equally not old enough. They mostly spend not less than eight hours and these children becomes very vulnerable. When children are taken to the farms at very early ages of their lives, they grow up to think that farming is the only work they can do in their lives abandoning all the great potentials God has deposited in their lives. Farming at Kpoi-Ete is on small scale because there are no capital equipment and also there is lack of irrigational systems. These farmers after working so hard earn only a little from their produce. The people in this village therefore lives in total poverty. About 90% of the land at Kpoi-Ete is surrounded by water. Their little ones therefore follow their brothers to swim or to learn how to fish. This takes the attention of the kids from school and as such even when they grow up, they prefer to be in the water than being in school. Child Relief Center sees education as an important role player in every society, and this is what we want to give the children at Kpoi-Ete. We believe that this will help give a positive self image to the children, help them lead a good moral life, and also help them have self confidence. There is late enrollment for the children at Kpo-Ete. Some of the children do not go through any education at all. As a result, the children follow their parents to the farm from the early stages of their lives, they prefer to be in the bush rather than school. |
