Founded in 1991 by a group of good Samaritans, the House of Shalom is
a shelter for abandoned, abused and orphan children. It is situated in
the beautiful coastal town of Richards Bay, in the heart of KwaZulu
Natal (South Africa). Presently the organisation is caring for 100
children, of which 40 children are accommodated at the institution and
60 at the outreach programmes.
Their ages range
from 0 to 18 years. Fifteen (15) new children were admitted this year.
Unfortunately two of our babies have since passed away due to the HIV
/Aids epidemic. Ten (10) children were discharged into foster care
In the process, this project also
tries to prepare those youngsters by giving them the necessary skills
to face life and a better future.
