Background
Education Fund Holy Family Care Centre Ofcolaco" started on October, 24, 2005 by the initiative of Margriet and Frank Kraak from the Netherlands. They are regular visitors of the Centre since 2003. As volunteers they try to give all kinds of support to the children and the sisters of the congregation OLSH who run the centre.
The aim of the foundation
is to raise funds for the education of children living at the Holy Family
Centre, who are infected with HIV or suffer from AIDS.
For more information about the Centre, click the link at the top.
Since the Centre
started in 2001 children in the age from 3 months to 14-15 years old
are taken care of at the Centre.
Children in the lower ages visit crèche and primary school at the
Centre or at the Dindinniefarm nearby.
Most of the children at Ofcolaco are doing very well. This means that some of them will be finishing primary school soon. Our first goal is to provide for funding to make a continuation course available for them.
Possible ways to do this are to provide the necessary funds for their education or by sponsoring extra teaching at the Centre itself.
Our foundation wants to be as transparant as possible about the way we exploit our funds. Therefore you will find an overview of the financial position of the foundation, assets and liabilties, as well as a short financial review updated twice a year (in dutch) .
Of course your gifts
are more than welcome.

the children at Ofcolaco.
