- tshwaranang
Tshwaranang is a community centre based in the Free State, in South Africa. Operating from a town called Harrismith, they work in the surrounding area.
Compared with many other regions within Africa, the area is relatively affluent, yet there are still many people living in appalling conditions, and families struggling within the worst poverty possible and HIV AIDS is a devastating force within the community.
Tshwaranang aim to transform the local community through their projects. One such project is Hope House, an orphanage caring for up to 30 children.

the raffa home
The Raffa Home is an orphanage in India. It has evolved over the years and now cares for 7 girls and 9 boys who live in separate homes: the majority have HIV. It is one of a number of church-led community projects in New Delhi, India, working with one of the most marginalised groups in their society.
Money donated goes towards their education, health and the ongoing cost of running the home, small things, but things that make a massive difference to the lives of the Raffa boys. There is a team of 7 people who run the home and do their best to raise these wonderful and unique children.
izandla zeAfrika
Izandla ZeAfrika is a faith-based charity in the heart of rural Zululand which strives to spread the love and gospel of Jesus Christ by being His hands and feet here on earth.
Their first project, and main focus, is helping local community members establish creches, using them as a foundation for early childhood development.
