Nine orphanages are among the latest to be supported through First Lady Arya Ali’s ‘Adopt-an-Orphanage’ initiative, aimed at changing the lives of orphans by ensuring that they benefit from a future filled with opportunities. To formalise the support, representatives of the orphanages signed memorandum of understanding with their sponsors during a ceremony held at State House on Thursday. The orphanages will receive financial assistance while the children will get medical and other assistance. The nine orphanages to benefit are: Prabhu Sharan Orphanage, Red Cross Convalescent Home, Bless the Children Home, St John’s Basco Orphanage, Shaheed’s Girls Orphanage, Shaheed’s Boys Orphanage, Hope Children’s Home, Joshua’s Children Home and Ruimveldt Children’s Home and Care Centre.
