FIRST QUARTER 2014 PROJECT

VINE HERITAGE HOME PROJECT

In line with our mission of partnering with individuals, groups or organisations to bring economic and humanitarian assistance, AAD commenced a support project with Vine Heritage Home in the 1^st quarter of 2014.

 
The home, located in the suburbs of Abuja, FCT, gives residence, relief and education to abandoned and indigent children in the rural communities around the FCT. The Home boasts of large play grounds, about six room hostel and nursery. Their impact in the area and beyond is remarkable. Children numbering up to 100 are catered for by the inadequate donations received. Many still live with their poor families in the neighbouring communities, but receive free education, feeding and healthcare from the Home.

Working with the coordinator and founder of the Home, Mr. Olusola Stevens, AAD identified the areas of assistance. We decided to improve the electrical and power generating plan in the premises. Many times the kids are without electricity and adequate ventilation. Needless to mention the danger posed by these needs. 

Bringing in our electrical and power personnel, we effected immense changes in less than a fornight, worth over half a million naira . We donated and installed: Fans, a large generator, an inverter system with a one year warranty, a metal rack to receive the batteries. A simple manual for use was also put together by our personnel. There was a general electrical rewiring and installations for better lighting points and control of the inverter system.

Our assistance won’t stop there. We will continue to provide other kinds of support for Home.
