Highlights
- A family operated Non-profit in Durban Kwa-Zulu/Natal
- We are not an orphanage. Instead, we find relatives or willing families to house abandoned children. In turn we support those families with day to day care for the children.
- Twice a week we distribute food to the children and the 3 centres we operate within Durban. One, in a township, another in a rural area and lastly, in an informal settlement..
- Learn our Zulu culture , our language and of course enjoy the food. You will live within our families and community. There is assigned accommodations for our volunteers
- You can work on any project within our community centres not just children.
