In October 2014 students of the English private school FALCON organised a swimming race. The proceeds from this event, 1540 euro was given in support of our program ‘I Cook and I offer’ on the 19th of December. We, at the Sophia Foundation for Children would like to thank the management and teachers for their support, but most of all we thank from our heart the children themselves, who in their initiative give us meaningful voluntary lessons.
‘I ADOPT A CHILD’ PROGRAMME
We provide breakfast, lunch and medical care to over 3,000 children across Kenya. The minimum monthly donation for ‘adopting a child’ is 20 euro.
MEDICAL MISSONS
We organise and effect a series of medical and dental missions, as well as implementing vaccination programmes ,thus covering all basic requirements for the prevention and/or management of diseases.
‘MAKARIOS CHILDREN’S HOME’ in Nyeri, Central Kenya
We built new and renovated some of the old premises of the orphanage which houses over 150 children many of which are HIV-positive or AIDS patients and we are responsible for its daily running and maintenance. We ensure the provision of food, clothing, medical care, education and recreation to all of the children.
PROVISION OF CLEAN WATER
We construct water-wells for pumping water and provide and install water tanks for storing fresh water.
SUPPORTING CHILDREN KEPT IN PRISONS
We fight for the release of children from prison, and we place them in our custody, thus ensuring their safety, food, medical care and education.
SUPPORTING WOMEN AND YOUTH CENTRES IN THE SLUMS
We promote and buy handicrafts which we then sell though our ‘mikromagazo’(little bazar’).
I COOK AND I OFFER
We provide lunch to all children in all-day primary schools in Cyprus.
JUST CARE
We carry out presentations in schools both in Cyprus and abroad, geared to sensitise children in regard to current social matters and the idea of volunteering.
