The Elisabeth Yolisa Home for Children is run by ESM, a non-profit organization. It has an official committee consisting of a chair person, a secretary, and a treasurer. An annual report is provided to the government of South Africa regarding all financial donations. ESM will also provide you with a tax deductible form for your financial donation. Presently only Yolisa gets paid for providing the day-to-day care of the children. They are provided a monthly salary of R3000 South African Rands (approximately $270 or Euro 210). This money is not enough for them to live on, but supplements their retirement/pension. Eventually, we would like to have enough financial support to provide a stipend or small salary for our volunteers. Until then, the project continues through the wonderful support of our volunteer staff. CURRENT DONORS:
