Let down by their parents. And then let down by the government. Who actually cares about abused, orphaned, neglected and abandoned little ones?

We do! And we are doing our best to provide a safe and supportive home, clothing, adequate nutrition, an education, love and encouragement.

But we are not getting the support we need from the Government. Child care subsidies have not been increased in four years. Yet the price of everything – from food to transport – has sky rocketed.

We can complain about deficiencies in the system. Or we can roll up our sleeves and make plans to protect the precious little souls in our care.

But we can’t do it all on our own. We have to ask others to help. People like you, who care about little ones growing up in a children’s home.

Because, ultimately, we are all one big family … the people of South Africa. And it’s up to each one of us to make sure we don’t let a single child fall through the cracks.

Please will you help make up the shortfall between the monthly Government subsidy and the actual cost of providing for a child?
