When Busega Scotland became involved with Mayega Children’s Centre in 2014, the staff only had primary education. It was clear that to provide the best possible care of the children, in all its facets, we needed greater expertise. This has been a progressive exercise, recruiting staff with both residential child care experience and formal qualifications.

We now have three graduates working at the Centre, a teacher and two social workers. The latest recruit is Asteria Benedicto, a social worker who has become our Head of Care. She will work alongside Neema Stephen, the Centre Manager, who has described their task.

‘The love and hard work (of staff) helps the children to become good people and fulfil their dreams and become important individuals in our society’.

We welcome Asteria and wish her well in her new post.
