Bethany Children's Home

Home to over 100 children, this orphanage is located in Umtata, South Africa. Most of

these children are under the age of five. Some will never see their 5th birthday because they are living with HIV/AIDS. Children are brought to the orphanage from all over the city. Some children are found at the side of the road, others under bridges and some are brought there by their family members who are financially unable to care for them. It is not uncommon to have 3-5 babies in a crib. Sadly, due to financial constraints, the orphanage is often understaffed. Your donation can make a tremendous difference in the lives of these children. Their needs vary from: clothing, food, diapers, shoes, and school supplies, but most of all, their greatest need is to have loving people to care for them.
