The world is experiencing many challenges today, not least of which is the Global Orphan Crisis. Children are being orphaned -, due to wars, famines, disasters and diseases - at an increasing rate. This crisis is particularly acute in South Africa with the Kwa Zulu Natal region being the worst affected in terms of ratio to population.

It is the deep desire of Immanuel Christian Church to help some of these abandoned babies in our local community in a practical way with the opening of our babies home – Ray of Hope (under the NPO Imisebe Yelanga.).
Imisebe Yelanga means ‘rays of sun’ and we seek to offer love, care, protection and hope to babies and toddlers in crisis.

Richard and Rachel Uys are our house parents who provide a loving and nurturing environment for our babies while taking care of the day to day running of our home, wonderfully assisted by our competent team of day and night caregivers.
