GAPOLUNYA FOUNDATION

Gapolunya Foundation was established in 2009 through the vision of Ms Lydia Ina, the founder. The Foundation began as an orphanage with 7 children and has grown to 25 children in residence. The Centre has also evolved into a children's rescue centre and has trained ‘Community Carers' from across Calabar with whom we support to look after other rescued children in their own community... We provide vulnerable orphaned and street children with a safe, supportive home to enable them to develop their full potential... We provide vulnerable street children with a caring safe environment, meals, roof over their heads, security and create an atmosphere for them to regain their self-worth, emotional balance and re adjustment before returning them into main stream education and placing them with a trained Community Carer to reintegrate them back into their own community.
