Families with foster children in Kisoro District, supported by Potters Village Children’s Crisis and Medical Centre, have praised the continuous financial and healthcare support they receive. This assistance has significantly improved the children’s quality of life.
The families expressed their gratitude ahead of receiving various food items from Potters Village, which will help in caring for the children and enhancing their diets. Among the items distributed were flour, silverfish, and rice.
Speaking to our reporter, many of the recipients shared that their foster children were taken in by Potters Village Children’s Crisis and Medical Centre when they were just one month old, often after losing their mothers during or shortly after birth. The center has since raised these children at no cost to the families.
They thanked the management of Potters Village Children’s Crisis and Medical Centre for their unwavering support, noting that without it, their efforts might have been in vain.
Meanwhile, Mugisha Festo, an administrator and social worker at Potters Village Children’s Crisis and Medical Centre, revealed that the project is currently supporting at least 45 children at no cost. Their main goal is to ensure that children in need do not suffer from malnutrition.
He emphasized that the services provided by Potters Village Children’s Crisis and Medical Centre are entirely free, with the aim of ensuring that babies born at their facility grow up healthy.
