Hands to Serve Trust
Holistic opportunity to the children
Talitha Kum Hands to Serve Trust (Children’s Home) is a religious-community based organization that provides a hybrid of institutional and community care to HIV positive orphaned and vulnerable children who cannot find immediate placement within the target community social safety nets. The word “Talitha Kum” is derived from the Bible (Mark 5:41), which means “Little girl arise”. The Home aspires to provide holistic opportunity to the children to celebrate life every new day thus the name Talitha Kum Children’s Home.
