Every child deserves to feel safe.
Three numbers describe the problem. The fourth is what we are able to do about it.
Ten thousand babies are abandoned in South Africa every year
Seven in ten are left in unsafe places
One in three of those is found alive
More than 200 are in our homes right now
We care for the ones who are found, working alongside Places of Safety, the Department of Social Development and registered child welfare organisations.
Donate through our form and your Section 18A tax certificate is issued automatically.

A once-off gift or a monthly commitment both make the list shorter.
