Good day, I hope you all are well,thank you to everyone who consistently supports the children God bless
Just a quick update .
In the last 2 weeks we have received 5 new babies . It is alarming that humans can just get rid of the children. As we approach Christmas I expect more children will be abandoned. Please pray for the children of our country. In the 18 years that we have been operating, this seems to be the norm now. We also have very positive and good news another of our first babies had her matric dance and she will go on to be a successful young woman. What a blessing. All good things come to those who wait upon the Lord. Be blessed kindest regards Eleanor

Well hope all is well with all out there.We at the Lighthouse continue to take care of the vulnerable babies and children. Again this morning SAPS phoned about a newborn that had been found in the veld. Last week we received 2 children also from social workers. So this problem is escalating .I just see an increase in the future months and years to come as life becomes more difficult and poverty increases. We accept all and any size clothes .Please drop off anytime that suits you. Always someone who will open the gate. God bless you all regards Eleanor .

Well good day to everyone, it has been a whirlwind January ,back to school and trying to get our 2 matric graduates into some tertiary education. Thank you to all who have contributed in December making it a wonderful experience for the children. So we have kicked off 2026 with 2 babies ,once again having been abandoned, abused and neglected. However ,at least now they are safe and loved. We appreciate everything that the public do for our children.This year is 18 years and still counting.It has been a wonderful experience for me to have been able to care for the children all these years.I am always grateful for the strength and support. God bless each one 🙏 ❤️ ♥️ 💖
