Welcome!

Since 2006, the African Orphans Project has worked to provide shelter, care, and spritual support to the unfortunate orphans of Shongweni village. 

Today, many of these children - who were formerly living in mud shacks with no walls - have clean, secure homes and the care to give them a chance to survive.

Old house and new house...

Just one orphan. We can make a difference.

"In this life, in this place, I couldn't afford to have too many dreams. But the few that I allowed myself were strong. I wanted to see Mr. Mandela walk free, and that has happened. I wanted to see apartheid die, and even that has happened. Now, something that I thought was too impossible even to dream about has happened. I have a house. I have a home. I am complete."
