Orphanages: Johannesburg Children's Home
Johannesburg Children's Home is a non-profit organisation (NPO) catering to kids between the ages of
3 and 18. They are survivors of
physical, sexual and emotional abuse, some are Aids orphans while others are HIV positive. Due to the neglect and abuse that these children have experienced, they have
an educational gap, which the NPO addresses with
special needs education. They also offer
therapy.

Malaika Orphanage Center supports children affected by poverty, abandonment and neglect, as well as those with Aids and HIV. Malaika

underprivileged families. There is also a
daycare facility for children not yet in school and
afternoon activities.

house of six children and a house mother, children are offered emotional support and attention.
Orphanages: Baby Haven
