Community Project – Kabod Baby House
The Kabod Baby House is a safe house for abused & abandoned babies. Some of them were found in garbage bins, in open fields next to the railway tracks and others just abandoned after the mother gave birth. These abandoned babies are placed in the house until the adoption process have been finalised, where after they are handed over to their new parents.
Although this is a very time consuming process, the Kabod House are proud to say that there has been 53 babies through the House over the past 6 years.
People think that this is a Neo Doxa Project only and that it is the churches sole responsibility to provide for this house, however Project Leader – Loraine Prinsloo explained how it works.
uMephi, whom is a non-profitable organisation and manages all these baby houses right across South Africa, came to Witbank 6 years ago, searching for a property to establish a baby house here. Neo Doxa got involved and donated the house on the church grounds to uMephi. At this stage, the house, water & electricity as well as garden services are provided by Neo Doxa on a monthly basis. This is however not a Neo Doxa project only, but it is also a community project.
To successfully run the Kabod House, the following is required:
- R28 000.00 per month donation (this includes baby milk, nappies, food, cleaning aids, medicine, salaries etc.)
To get to the set budget of R28 000.00 per month, they need the following:
- 280 Donators whom can each contribute only R100 per month. (Or however it suits your budget, every rand makes a difference).
If they can get the community involved in this way it will relieve the financial pressure, ensuring a good future for the Kabod House and the babies that must still pass through the process of adoption.
