Siyathandwa (we are loved) Uyathandwa (so are you).

Thank you for letting this group of orphans and vulnerable children know that they are loved.

Thanks to generous contributions from overseas and within our Archdiocese the first Drop In Centre (Siyathandwa) in St. Michaels Parish is now up and running every day – a haven of help and hope.

The once empty shell of a hut now has rugs on the concrete floor; mattresses for napping; child-sized tables and chairs in bright colours; books; toys; educational wall posters; daily hot meals and loving caregivers.

Small voices ring out repeating rhymes songs and prayers. There are always more smiles than tears. And the children know that this is the one safe and secure place where they will always receive nurturing understanding and any help needed.

Thank you for helping us to provide the essentials that every child needs.
