Westhaven Childrens Home is an orphanage for handicapped children in Jamaica. It was started in 1986 by a group who saw the need for a residential facility to assist children with disabilities to reach their full potential.
They currently house ages three to twenty seven years old, with a wide variety of abilities. This varies from children with mild cerebral palsy, Downs Syndrome, and mental retardation to children with more profound handicaps. Full time care givers at Westhaven provide all necessary care including physical therapy and education.
The ongoing operational costs of the home are supported, in part, by the Jamaican Ministry of Health. However, the largest daily support comes from continuing donations from local and overseas individuals and groups.
