Amaudo Ntalakwu, or ‘Amaudo 2′, is a smaller community which exists for residents who are unable to be resettled because of learning disabilities or problems in retracing their families.
Whilst some live here independently, those needing more intensive support reside in a family house. Life skills, training and education is provided. There is a learning centre at this site called “the School for Wonderful Children”, but is unfortunately currently waiting for a teacher. The community has an active farm with poultry, yams, cassava, plaintain and palms. Residents work on the farm to earn money and learn skills.

There are 10 residents of the family house and 9 residents in the community village. It is a peaceful place for them to stay and for those with learning difficulties it is a place where they can get the time and support they may not get elsewhere.

Okon’s brushes

Okon had lived at Amaudo Ntalakwu for some time when one day he began to gather palm leaves which were lying around the village and start to expertly make them into brooms. Although he was unable to say so, it was apparent that he had made them before somewhere, sometime. The brooms are so good that he takes them to the local market to sell.
