About Ray of Hope

Our house parents 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. We offer love, care, protection and hope to babies and toddlers in crisis.


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 KwaZulu-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 through our babies home – Ray of Hope (under the NPO Imisebe Yelanga, which means "Rays of Sun").


Imisebe Yelanga is a registered NPO.
