Responding to the needs of
children with social disadvantages, CEENA's
empowerment center is yet another unique
project in Gilgit Baltistan. It provides
shelter, food, clothing and healthcare to
some of the most marginalized children
coming from various parts of the region.
CEENA firmly understands
 the plight of these
children who would otherwise end up their
lives intertwined in many potential
socio-cultural discriminations, contempt and
predicament. But this center brings hope for
them and their families.
The number of boarders at the
center has now arisen to 72 orphaned and
destitute children from different valleys of Gilgit/Baltistan. CEENA also encourages
these children to connect with their
immediate families so that they do not feel
socially or culturally disconnected.
However, those children are given extra
protection and care who have been brought to
this center because of hostile and biased
attitude of their kith and kin.
In addition, CEENA offers a
conducive learning environment with focus on
grooming them physically, mentally,
socially, intellectually and ethically; so
that they become responsible, effective and
useful citizens. |
