The White Orchid School
The White Orchid Foundation is a project that provides a restricted access sanctuary for girls rescued from the sex trade. Initially the school will house 100 children.
In no way is this project simply a rehabilitation centre; it will be a place for these children to live. All avenues will be explored to make sure the Island is Eco-friendly, that way it will not only be a project that benefits sexually abused children but also preserves self-sustainability over the long term. The White Orchid Foundation will always be focused on the rehabilitation and education of children rescued from the sex trade. It will also continuously review the best practices to end child prostitution and trafficking.
Rehabilitation
Our first step is to create a sanctuary community and rehabilitation centre on a restricted access Island. Islands provide the safest, most self-contained, psychologically beneficial location for the rehabilitation of children rescued from the sex trade.
We have the first White Orchid Island and now need to build the our school, with your support.
We also have the 100 project and The Big Sister Program to help in rehabilitation.
Please scroll down for more details on the Island school.
The centre will:
Ø Provide Safety
Ø Educate
Ø Rehabilitate
Safety and security:
Sanctuary communities and rehabilitation centres will be built on restricted access islands. Islands provide the safest, most self-contained, psychologically beneficial location for the rehabilitation of sexual abuse victims. It is tantamount to the rehabilitation of these children that they believe and understand that they will never be returned to the sex trade.
All staff information will be kept strictly confidential, due to the inherent danger.
Education:
The White Orchid Centres will develop an education structure to enable the children to grow, learn and develop. The White Orchid Foundation aims to provide these children with a variety of subjects that match key learning criteria agreed upon by local education institutions.
Rehabilitation:
Rehabilitation of sexually abused victims is paramount to the success of The White Orchid project. One pre-defined plan for all children cannot be adopted. Each individual will be assessed, counseled and treated based on their individual experiences and environments in which they came from.
Group counseling, individual therapies, trust exercises, team building and other medians will be methods of rehabilitation. Only the best practices will be utilised to ensure each child is provided with the best care.
A big sister program will also be adopted. For more information see the Big Sister section.
No men will be allowed on the island in the first year. After this time, males will be reintroduced into centre operations.
Staff required for The White Orchid Centre:
Ø 10+ Teachers (Varying disciplines)
Ø Child Psychologists (2)
Ø Doctor (1)
Ø Nurse (1)
Ø Technician (1)
Ø Cook (2)
Facilities available at The White Orchid Centre:
All facilities normally in other schools will be present, but with added rooms:
Ø Medical Wing (fully operational)
Ø Counseling Rooms

Other facilities may be added and this list is subject to change at the time of building.
We would like to invite Architects to help design specific buildings on the Island, please feel free to CONTACT US if you would like to be part of the White Orchid project Initiative.
Our focus has now changed, from acquiring the first Island, to building the first school. We now have our first Island.
