Isithembiso Babies Home had its second touch rugby fundraiser on Saturday. The tournament consisted of ten teams playing round-robin matches across two pools. The pool stages were followed by the two top teams from each pool advancing to the semi-finals.
Isithembiso officially opened their doors on the 1st of November 2005, and has cared for more than 60 babies to date. Isithembiso is a place of safety for children between the ages of 0-3 years who have been abandoned, abused, neglected or orphaned. We work hand in hand with social services to find these children new families or to reunite them with their biological family according to their individual case.
Isithembiso's mission is to speak up for those who can’t speak for themselves. Proverbs 31 v 8-9 “Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute. Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor & needy.” Secondly, to reach the community by providing a safe home for these children.
Isithembiso relies solely on the donations of individuals and businesses to run from month to month. Some of their expenses include rent, the salaries of the 6 staff members, rates and the general running of the household.
