Baby Unit
A home, which is currently being built in the Chingola South area of Chingola, to care for orphaned children.
A Safe Place for Babies
The vision for the Transit Home was born when we were asked to take in a 3 month old baby boy whose mother had died and whose father was not equipped to care for him. We recognised that with a little guidance, support and often skills training, many families, like this one, would be able to care for their orphaned children, despite great odds, instead of giving them up into institutional care.
Planning & Building
Dave, Mary & the team at Living Hope are currently in the process of building the new Baby Unit.
