"We appeal to the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection to allocate funds to support the homes because we've mostly been neglected. Also, most of the children desire to be recruited into the security services such as the police, customs and the army but to no avail. We appeal to government to allocate slots for orphans in the security services recruitment too.

She commended other benevolent groups for the continues support, however appealed for financial support to assist in the operationalization of the home and administrative purposes.

She also stressed on transport as a major challenge facing the home and appealed to philanthropists and benevolent groups to come to the aid of the home.
