Projects - General
The designation
The word orphanage always has a slightly sad and hopeless tone. We call our projects so - Family Uniquedirect. Per Family maximum of 40 children are looked up to independence. At the moment we are in the state of Cameroon (Central Africa) worked, and later also to children in other countries can benefit from our help.The housing strategy
Per Family 40 children are cared for. In the main house there are two twelver-rooms (girls/boys), in the adjoining house is on two levels space for four quadruple-rooms for the older children. The whole property is surrounded by a wall. A playground, and a traditional kitchen and a field for self-catering are also available. A room in the house next door is used as a warehouse and office. The aim is to obtain for each project the independence of public sources, such as water and electricity by solar energy and its own water intake. A school and a hospital partners will be selected by location of each project.The employees
Only native employees work with Uniquedirect's Family. The advantage is that the children's reference people have the same cultural background as they do.A team of three women per house take care of the extended family's daily needs. Three guards with dogs ensure the children's safety. The children receive assistance from a social worker, a doctor and additional support teacher's as required.
Uniquedirect provides its employees with valuable, secure jobs. They are paid a salary which is in keeping with the pay for comparable jobs in Cameroon.
Model
Purpose- Children's Relief Organisation for orphans with HIV/AIDS, orphans and street children, and children from large, poor families.
- Good quality basic care and support, which includes regular, balanced meals and medical treatment.
- Safety and security
- Education
- Upholding of cultural and social values
- Encouragement/prevention work
- 40 children are looked after per Family. This manageable number lets us give the children the maximum, best possible education and guarantee a healthy and varied diet. It means we are also able to address the needs and concerns of every individual.
- So the children can develop and blossom freely and without cares.
- After compulsory schooling ends, we look for suitable training for the children, to make it easier to embark on an independent future. The children remain part of the Uniquedirect Family during and after their training.
