Every week hundreds of babies are abandoned in South Africa. Shortly after birth, they are left in hospitals, shop doorways, alleys or simply dumped in the veld. This is a sad reflection on our society. The most basic instinct, namely motherhood, has been impaired to the point where mothers are forced to abandon their infants in order to survive themselves.
The Love of Christ Ministries (TLC), was established in 1993, specifically to meet the needs of these, the most innocent victims of violent crime, homelessness, HIV/Aids and general social turmoil in South Africa.
TLC is dedicated to salvaging these fresh, untarnished lives, through adoption into a community of families which is structured to focus on one objective. This is to raise and nurture the poorest of the poor into valuable, educated and skilled members of our nation.
