We are a community group of like-minded individuals
who have come together from across the world using the Internet to personally help the children at a deprived small Aids Orphanage in Duncan Village. Our aim is to help them secure a basic quality of life for the present and help provide a secure future by helping them directly. Everything you do is sent by you personally to the children to ensure that every penny and personal donation is used for their welfare. Many of the children there are suffering from Aids, Cancer, child abuse, homelessness, starvation and extreme poverty which I witnessed when I visited there in 2008 at the age of 15.
The children are cared for by an amazing seventy-seven year old Grandmother, who since 2002, and after personal tragedy, started taking in local orphaned and abused children. The orphanage is situated in East London South Africa in one of the poorest townships of the Eastern Cape, where starvation and extreme poverty is sadly still a part of daily life. The orphanage in it’s present form can only provide sleeping space for around 50 children and the rest have to be housed with volunteers in the local community. It is our combined vision to build and develop this orphanage to accommodate all the 89 orphaned children on site in proper beds and with your help we hope to accomplish this by the end of 2009.
Thanks to all your support , especially Angie and Alan, the new Crèche is now making a difference to the children's daily lives - we are hoping to complete the next extension to the main house shortly!
The children range in age from a few months old to 16 years and with your help we can help to ease their suffering and give them a sustainable educated future!
If you can provide a small birthday gift and a card to show you care, then why not join as as a Birthday Buddy.

Roof Sheet Sponsors Needed to RAISE THE ROOF
They not only need people or business’s to help fund the expansion to the orphanage, so that we can eventually accommodate all those orphaned and abandoned children who are in desperate need of help. There is also a desperate need for funding for basic items such as clothes and food.
We are all very proud of Katie who produced a stunning video. She won the Student of the week award which she really deserves.
For those of you who enjoy a challenge and feel the need to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in. We can arrange trips to the orphanage, there you will get to participate and get personally involved.
