Our Programmes Include:
Early Childhood Development (Ages 2–3)
Young children participate in structured play activities that promote social, cognitive, and communication development in a safe and nurturing environment.
Literacy and Numeracy Classes
From the age of 3, children begin foundational literacy and numeracy skills including pencil control, reading, writing, and basic mathematics. Two trained teachers oversee these sessions. For older children who have never been to school, our classes offer a second chance at learning and open doors to future vocational opportunities.
Health and Nutrition Support
The centre provides nutritious meals and teaches daily hygiene practices. Minor injuries sustained on the dump site are treated on-site, while more serious medical issues are referred to registered clinics or hospitals — with the centre covering much of the associated costs and transportation.
Recreational and Emotional Support
Safe and structured recreational activities allow children to play, develop friendships, and receive emotional support. Spiritual input through prayer and singing contributes to their holistic well-being and personal growth.
A Lifeline for the Forgotten
The Joseph Centre offers a more specialised approach to meeting the educational and developmental needs of children living in extreme deprivation. By focusing on literacy, numeracy, emotional wellbeing, and inclusive care, the centre gives children the chance to move beyond survival — and begin building a brighter future.
