Information on the Orphanage
From our church's website:
The Sihawukelwe Lauren's Children's Home supports orphaned children in Umzinyathi, a village in northeastern South Africa. The health status of the children is unknown; however, all are a result of parents who died of AIDS. Fifteen children, ages 3 to 18 years, live there full time as they transition to community or government supported programs. The Cathedral provides funding of food to both live-in children and orphans supported by community families, and often as many as 60 deserving children might visit daily for meals. The current priority is to build bathroom facilities for the children. Running water is not currently available. The opportunities for assisting in expanding this ministry into other health and social welfare areas are boundless.
