Millions of orphaned (UNICEFA quote from Unicef South Africa: “The AIDS epidemic in South Africa is devastating families and communities. The country has the world’s largest number of HIV-infected people. There are an estimated 3.7 million orphans in South Africa – close to half of them have lost their parents to AIDS-related diseases and there are many more children living with sick and bedridden caregivers. About 150,000 children are believed to be living in child-headed households.”) and vulnerable children in South Africa need a safe, loving environment to grow up in. A place where they are cherished, cared for and most importantly, where they are raised knowing their future is alive with hope.
