Our Child Admission Procedure

OHF has a strict Child Admission Procedure that requires the expatriate manager to personally interview the orphans before admission. We have several selection criteria, of which one of them is that the relatives who looked after the orphans must be poor; the assessment made from looking at the condition and size of the house. We also asked questions such as how the income of the guardian is derived and if they are farmers, whether they own their own land and the size of the land.

The child must be six years old or above and does not suffer from any long term illnesses such as AIDS. Under certain circumstances, such as the child accepted together with older siblings, we may lower the age criteria.
