Saving the LIVES of Abandoned Babies! Door of Hope opened a 'Baby Box' in 1999. We run 3 care houses in Johannesburg with space for 72 babies.
Door of Hope, which opened a 'Baby Bin' in 1999, runs three care houses with facilities for caring for 66 abandoned babies at any one time.
On average 9 babies a month come to Door of Hope; the baby bin is not the only way babies arrive at Door of Hope sometimes it’s via the police or hospitals. Some babies that are placed in the bin are only hours old.
But these figures are only the tip of the iceberg and the number of children saved is still dwarfed by those who die of neglect and abandonment: thrown in rubbish bins, left in an open field or flushed down a toilet.
We seek to help in meeting the needs of abandoned,abused and orphaned children in South Africa, by providing loving and stable Christian environments,so that they may grow up to be people that have a positive effect in South Africa and the world .
