Through this foster care journey, our eyes have been opened to the many different needs, right here in our own community.
"It takes a village to raise a child" is a proverb that means that an entire village of people must provide for and interact positively with children for those children to experience and grow in a safe and healthy environment. Kijita (Wajita) have the proverb "Omwana ni wa bhone" meaning regardless of a child's biological parents, its upbringing belongs to the community. That's where we come in! We are the bridge between our amazing community who loves to help those and need and the ones who are in need!
Omwana's Village is a nonprofit clothing closet serving Lincoln and Pike Counties. When a foster family says "Yes" to bringing a child into their home it is a whirlwind of emotions and activity. It can be very overwhelming! Our goal is to make that transition a little easier. We are hoping to be able to provide new and gently used (Clean!) clothing, shoes and other necessities that a child needs, for FREE. We are so excited to be able to help, not only in this way, but we are hopeful that this organization will be able to offer the emotional and physical support that foster families so desperately need! We are hoping for one of us to be able to reach out not only when a child comes into care, but also when a family member related to a child steps in as a kinship placement and ALSO if there is a family that is struggling, to be able to keep that disruption from even happening in the first place!
Spread the word! If you hear of a child that is in need, reach out to us! We are here to help! If we don't have what is needed on hand, we will do whatever we can to help find it!
Please feel free to contact us if you have donations or if there is a child/family that has a need! That is what we are here for!
It takes a village...
