"The Home is committed to providing a safe, secure and nurturing environment designed to harness, develop and sustain the hopes, talents and aspirations of children through programmes that address the holistic development of those whose best interest would only be served and promoted by placement in residential care as a result of potential or actual harm in their own home or community."
Every child deserves the warmth of a supportive environment, compassionate medical and psychological care, quality education, and the opportunity to grow into confident, productive members of our society.
Up to 34 children and young people have been resident at the home at one time ranging in age from 4 years to 19 years. Children who are admitted to the home are mainly orphans, child or sexual abuse victims and neglected or abandoned children or those placed there by the Courts.
The St Christopher Children's Home is under general management of a Board of Directors but the children are under the direct control and supervision of a Home Manager/Administrator and House Parents/Direct Care Givers. The Home is supported in part by the Government, who also provides free electricity and water services and assists with the maintenance of the buildings through the Public Works Department. However the financial upkeep of the Home is facilitated by donations of cash or gifts in kind from service organizations, commercial firms, businesses and private individuals.
