Inside Two Villages
The Impact the Villages Make
In the heart of South Africa’s HIV/AIDS pandemic devastation, two remarkable children’s villages — Lily of the Valley and iKhethelo Children’s Village — rose to bring hope, healing, and a future to orphaned and vulnerable children. Rooted in love and built on faith, these homes have cared for over 130 children for more than 25 years, focusing on four pillars: spiritual growth, health, education, and a nurturing environment. This video shares their inspiring story and the life-changing impact they continue to make.
Discover the powerful story of faith, family, and transformation in South Africa. This video reveals how Lily of the Valley and iKhethelo Children’s Village have been rescuing lives, raising leaders, and building brighter futures for children who had lost everything.
WHy Move the Village?
Why move to a new location?
EDUCATION is one of the keys to breaking the orphan & poverty cycle in South Africa. Unfortunately in our area we are 50 km away from good fee paying schools which is where we are already sendig some children & want to send most of our children.
By moving the village to the new farm that we have found we will have access to a huge amount of amazing schools for our children. Theyare all located close to the new farm & will save us thousands in petrol costs.
Funds have been raised to purchase the farm. Offer has been accepted & payment made. Transfer should take place before the end of the year!
