"I waited patiently for the Lord; He turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see, fear, and put their trust in the Lord."

Psalms 40: 1-3
The Meaning of "Simukai"

The name "Simukai" was derived from this powerful scripture, reflecting our mission to lift children out of difficult circumstances and provide them with a firm foundation for their future. Just as the scripture speaks of being lifted from despair to hope, we strive to uplift vulnerable children and youth.
