- DEVELOPMENT OF THE BERIKIDS WEBSITE:
With the treasured assistance of Martine
(Switzerland), we were able to develop our Website -
www.berikids.org
and to this, we are greatly indebted. By the grace of God, the
Website has again been redesigned, and this is what you are
presently reading and browsing through.

- THE
INSTALLATION OF GRINDING MILLS:
We have been able to plant 2
Grinding Mills in some of our Rural areas. The Grinding Mills serve
and help the peasant localities and they are also a source of little funds
for the BERIKIDS Centre. |

- SPORTS
FORUM FOR SCHOOL DROP OUTS:
BERIKIDS has created a forum where
youths especially School drop-outs can come and improve on their
Sport skills. Through this forum, we have been able to educate them
as concerns the social ills in our society. Many who came for sports
later saw the need to learn a trade. |

TAILORING / SEWING DEPARTMENT:
We are currently managing a
Tailoring and Sewing Department. Here, we train youths, single
mothers, orphans, and vulnerable children who are interested in
learning the art of sewing. We have 3 Teachers; one teaches
design-making, the other handles men's wear and the last teaches the
sewing of inner-wears and handicrafts. Read

Students in the Department, being: 5 Orphans, 7 Single mothers, and

members, especially the orphans, vulnerable children and single
mothers. By this Program, we teach them basic computer skills and
show them the importance of Information and Communication Technogy.
This Department possesses 5 Computers and 1 Printer. We are in dire

- SINGLE
MOTHERS GROUP PROJECT:
This Project aims at sensitizing
the Teenage Mothers and building up their capacities in one of the
various Vocational Training Activities that our Organization
offers. We included into this Program the Sexual education of the
youth and the fight against HIV-AIDS and Abortion, which is
predominant in our Community. |

DEVELOPMENT OF OUR PSYCHIATRIC CENTRE:
BERIKIDS in its quest for
good up breeding of orphans, vulnerable children and young mothers
with sane moral and hope for a better future saw the need of having
within its institution a Psychiatrist who could assist in bringing
up this marginalized group of people. The Project then aimed at
providing some First Aid accessories and furniture for the
Psychiatrist Centre. This was done accordingly and it was realized
that the Community is in great need of one Psychiatrist. Being the
only person available, we committed our Psychiatrist to assist not
only the Centre, but also the Community. Presently, we have just 1
Room and 2 Beds for treating the mentally deranged. At times, we
give out our own rooms to admit patients when the room is full and
most times the Doctor goes round to their various homes to treat
them.
