The foundation of the project is the network of Family Support Teams made up of Christians
drawn from local churches. 56 teams with about 350 volunteers visit orphan families on a
regular basis & offer practical, social emotional and spiritual help. Four coordinators work
with these teams, meeting with them once a month for feedback, planning, and praying.
The programme is a registered fostering agency, which means that children are assisted to access
birth and death documents and IDs, foster parents are screened, home situations investigated,
cases taken to the Children’s Court, children are placed in foster care, and then assisted to apply
for the foster child grant. Foster placements are supervised.

Amongst many other monthly activities the programme offers
psycho-social support workshops which help orphans to deal
with the emotional trauma of losing their parents. The workshops
also give life skills training. Foster parents workshops take place
as well as memory box work with the orphans and a support group
for HIV+teens.
Pastoral coordinators counsel individuals and families, help staff
and volunteers to develop their spiritual ministry and assist with
workshops.
The programme works closely with the local schools to further care
for the needs of the orphans as well as identifying new orphans.
21 After School Clubs offer orphans in the school help with
homework, games and crafts and life skills. Careers day in High
School are facilitated. Five youth clubs run a weekly programme
for youth in general. Some of these clubs have started income
generating projects. Inter club competitions and outings add
to the fun factor.
