“We don’t just give shelter—we build homes. We don’t just serve meals—we nourish futures. At Saint Aloysius, we are growing hope, one child at a time.”
We don't measure our impact in days, but in transformed lifetimes. Every meal, every lesson, every safe night adds up to a future rewritten
Education is the one gift that cannot be taken away—it is the foundation we build upon to turn today's vulnerable child into tomorrow's capable leader."
Healthcare is the first step in healing a child's past and protecting their future—we nurture strong bodies so brave hearts and bright minds can thrive.
An orphanage is not just a building—it is a chosen family, a safe harbor, and the first chapter in a story of resilience, love, and belonging.
St.Aloysius Children’s Development Center was born from a simple, powerful belief: every child deserves safety, love, and opportunity. Founded in 2008, our journey began when a small group of volunteers recognized the growing number of orphaned and vulnerable children in our community with nowhere to turn. What started as a humble feeding program in a rented room has grown into a sanctuary of hope—a place where over 30 children now find consistent care, education, and a place to call home.
About us!
A world where every child, regardless of their start in life, is empowered to thrive and contribute positively to society.
To provide holistic care—nutrition, education, healthcare, emotional support, and spiritual guidance—to orphaned and vulnerable children, nurturing them into confident, capable, and compassionate individuals.
We build health, not just treat sickness—nourishing bodies, healing hearts, and nurturing resilient futures for every child in our care.”
At Saint Aloysius, our health and wellness program is designed to build complete well-being from the inside out. We provide daily balanced nutrition to support physical growth, regular medical and dental check-ups to prevent illness, and dedicated emotional care through counseling and safe spaces. By combining preventative healthcare, mental support, and health education, we ensure each child is given the foundation to grow strong, heal fully, and thrive with confidence for years to come.
“Clean Water, Brighter Futures – A Lifeline for Our Community”
This page is dedicated to our mission to build a sustainable, clean water source for Saint Aloysius Children’s Development Center and the surrounding community. Many children and families currently lack reliable access to safe drinking water, impacting health, hygiene, and daily life. Our goal is to drill a deep-bore water well equipped with a hand pump or solar-powered system, ensuring year-round access to clean, safe water.
Health: Reduces waterborne diseases like cholera and typhoid.
Hygiene: Supports better sanitation and handwashing practices.
Education: Children, especially girls, spend less time fetching water and more time in school.
Sustainability: A community-owned resource that will serve for generations.

Water is life. Health is hope.
One Well. Hundreds of Healthy Futures.
