Abu Dhabi: A
special village for orphans, abandoned children and those of
unknown parentage is being built in Umm Al Qaiwain in the United
Arab Emirates (UAE) in the lines of the world famous SOS
Children's Villages.
The ministry of social affairs said the village, officially named
"The Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al-Nahyan Social Care Village", is
being constructed and funded by the Khalifa bin Zayed Humanitarian
Foundation.
The village aims to meet the psychological, spiritual, mental and
social needs of children who were deprived of families, the
ministry said.
Children of unknown parentage will be provided with foster
families and integrated into the community.
The project to help up to 300 children is made up of a cluster of
high quality residences, each of which can accommodate up to six
children each.
