HAE offers shelter to the distraught kids who grew up in tough situations that separated them from the happiness of a family in their early days. These orphans need affection, attention and kindness. The orphans in Sierra Leone are plagued by many issues like child labour, maltreatment, gender bias, trafficking, health issues, homeless and impoverishment. HAE recognises the need of support and care of orphan children for their holistic development, for these unfortunate children who are deprived and neglected from the society, for bringing them into the mainstream of the society.
