Improving living conditions in Luxor's care homes

Please scroll down the page to read our project updates

September 2008

When there is little money to care for people there is seldom any left over for the upkeep of where they live. In the villages surrounding Luxor many people still live with dirt floors and no internal plumbing and although Luxor’s children’s homes are above this situation, the majority are in dire need of maintenance, repair and updating.

The dream of Little Stars, along with several other charities that Little Stars are working with, is to replace those buildings that are about to fall down with new buildings in a village setting where orphans are cared for within their own culture and disabled children can get treatment while their mothers can learn a trade making saleable items for Fair Trade centres. This is an ambitious project but it is achievable with your assistance.

In the meantime, living conditions in some homes could be improved merely with the purchase of small items like rubber sheets and electronic mosquito killers, in others far more work is needed.

The above photos are not the worst case scenario of care homes but they do show how great the problem is.

With your help, the Trust Fund will be able to do something positive about alleviating this situation.

Thank you.
