THOSE WE SERVE

The Guardian Foundation helps to find appropriate schools for children to gain their education and ensure all school-related expenses are paid for, including uniforms, supplies, and tuition.

Additionally, we attend parent-teacher meetings for orphaned children. The Guardian Foundation visits and works closely with local orphanages, rescue centers, and schools, and monitors the progress and needs of the children.
