GAGA UK have supported the work of HOLAH Baby Home (Likhon iThemba) for a few years now. We provide funding to help when we can, but also like to share their great news stories and fundraising campaigns too. We really believe in the work that they're doing, and know the difference that they make is huge to those they support.
Likhon iThemba exists to provide assistance to vulnerable children and their families in South Africa. The main focus area is to provide a safe, loving home for the many abandoned babies in KZN.
HOLAH, their main project, exists to love and care for the babies placed in their care, until they can be placed with adoptive families. It is a place of safety for the babies in their care. The babies that come to them have either been orphaned, abandoned, given up for adoption or removed from their parents care. They take in six babies at a time, to ensure that each child is given the attention and care that they deserve. Unlike standard orphanages, HOLAH has deliberately remained small and intimate to ensure that the highest levels of care, love and attention can be offered to the young lives placed in their care. In addition, they dedicate themselves to finding each individual child a 'forever family'.
In South Africa, there are a large number of abandoned or orphaned babies, as well as babies that are taken out of homes for various reasons. In light of this, HOLAH's main purpose is to be a safe-haven for these young children, to be there for them and provide for them until they can either be reunited with family members or adopted into new and loving homes by suitable adoptive families.
