Reiss Engineering Ltd. made a $5,000 donation to our local Ranfurly Home for Children to assist with the programs and needs for children that are less fortunate.

The presentation of the donation was held at the Ranfurly Home for Children on Friday, April 28 at 11 a.m.

The Ranfurly Home for Children is a privately-run home for children that are in need of a safe environment.

It is a private organization that heavily relies on donations every year by private citizens or corporations.

Since 1956, the Ranfurly Home for children have provided a safe haven for thousands of Bahamian orphaned, abused, neglected or abandoned children.

The home originated in the mid-1950s after a tragic fire which resulted in many displaced children living in downtown Nassau.

This historic home provides a safe environment to 36 children between the ages of 12 to 18 years old that no fault to their own are in need of a safe and nurturing place to call home.

As the largest Bahamian-owned engineering firm, “Reiss Engineering is committed to giving back to the community in which we work and live,” said President Dr. Robert Reiss.

“We are pleased to give this donation to the Ranfurly Home for Children, and appreciate the work they are doing to house and care for children and ensure a brighter future not only for the children but for our country,” noted Reiss.

On Friday, April 28 2017 at 11 a.m., Reiss Engineering staff Ian Penn and Dwight Fitzgerald presented a $5,000 check to the Administrator of the Ranfurly Home for Children Alexander Roberts and Assistant Administrator, Princess R. Burrows.
