Some children left the orphanage during covid, but sawa has still been able to help with medical bills and basic needs. There are 3 yound adults who completed secondary school and aged out of the orphanage. In 2024 sawa provided support for their transition and paid tuition and living expenses for one student taking college courses. The numbers in el shadai can vary, but there are up to 25 primary school age children and about 5 secondary school age children. Sawa has stopped paying school fes for new additions to the orphanage due to the deterioration of the relationship and communication with the orphanage director, but the funding we provide to operate and maintain the building benefits all the children.
