Government Orphanage of St John

House which boards orphans aged between two weeks of life and 10/11 years.

Small creatures lovingly assisted, but no means,  comfortable environments are essential for their very young age.Our sensitivity has been shaken. You could not leave those children without giving them immediately, not only hope but practical help and warm love . and so, in addition to the 500 health cards purchased for them, steps were taken, with personal commitment of our Ambassador at Large ,and the Grand International Chnacellory it was approved  the replacement of van.  The Prince Grand Master also gifted two cows to give fresh milk to the children, , chickens , hens and a cock for the fresh eggs which could also be sold to the neighbouring villages ..

Together with all that  has been done, we proposed to provide further and continuously to the needs of the orphanage and decided to take it under our patronage.There is need of so much, therefore, in  future, for any need the orphanage may have we will in accordance with the Goverment  try to deliver the comodity .. One must make a special effort to thank GOD of the blessings we have and find a simple way to help these people. A Health card for one year costs about US$ 33.00 , Donations in relation to this are welcome.

It has been five years since The Italian Chapter through its Veneto delegation  have proposed to the Ecumenical Order to sponsor the Ngongi public Hospital in Burundi, which was accepted after long valuation.  Since then we have been able in coolaboration  with the University of Verona to send on a rotation basis doctors for curing the sick. The Ecumenical Order has brought two forty foot containers  full of medical equipment, medecines , an ambulance and beds. This was also thanks to thealso thanks to  the USA Chancellory , . The Ecumenical Hospitaller Order has proposed to the Goverment that it would like to expand the Hospital to a University Hospital. In principle it has been agreed but there still is a lot of red tape to get approved . A fututre delegation will be going on an official state visit to discuss and agree on all terms.
