Orphanage

We are fortunate to have a dedicated team of full-time volunteer staff members who are deeply committed to caring for the children. Each child is placed in a home with a caregiver (a Tashirat mom or dad), and each household accommodates between five to ten children. This family-oriented approach allows us to form strong, meaningful bonds with the children, offering them the love and stability of a true family.

For our children with disabilities, who require ongoing assistance, we are committed to supporting them into adulthood. They know that we will always be here to help them become more independent, providing a safe and nurturing environment where they can thrive and grow into confident adults.

We focus on emotionally empowering our children by teaching them to communicate and express their feelings, which helps them navigate relationships and resolve conflicts. They also learn to ask for help when needed, building resilience and self-awareness.

Many of the children who come to us face learning challenges, limited formal education or intellectual disabilities. At Tashirat, we operate our own home school, offering personalized education tailored to each child’s unique needs and individual capabilities.

We provide continuous education without age limits to all our children, including adults with disabilities, as we believe that ongoing learning and skill development are crucial for a motivating, positive, and fulfilling life.

At home, we primarily speak English, while Spanish is used at school, allowing most of our children to become fluent in both languages. This bilingualism not only provides a valuable asset for those children who will one day enter the workforce, but research also shows that speaking multiple languages positively impacts the brain, enhancing cognitive abilities and supporting overall mental development.
