Capacity of Gift For Life Foundation to carry out Projects
- The Nature of Gift For Life Foundation
The Gift For Life Foundation is registered, non-profit and charitable organization which aims to put smiles on the faces of underprivileged children at Children’s Homes and in needy communities in our nation on a monthly basis and also guide them in their Education.
GIFT FOR LIFE FOUNDATION ( GFLF) is not in any way affiliated with any specific Home. It does not raise funds on behalf of any Home.
The children at many of the Homes have opened their hearts to GFLF indicating that the public only remembers them at Christmas time and maybe on special occasions, but all during the year they are forgotten. One child said, “people think that we are animals in a zoo. They come once a year to visit us and bring garbage bags of tattered clothing. We don’t see them again until the same time next year.”
These children are starved for love and affection. Their physical needs may be provided for but many yearn for love and attention – and to feel more special all year round. Thus, the GFLF reaches out to a minimum of three Children’s Homes on a monthly basis.The aim of this huge effort is to build on the children’s self esteem and social interaction skills.
