Orphans

58% of the total population in Eswatini are orphans and vulnerable children (OVC).

The Project Canaan Children (PCC) initiative provides a safe haven for orphans and vulnerable children. We now have 430+ children living at Project Canaan and receive a new baby every 6 days on average. We are committed to raising the next generation of Swazis.

Words from our Child Sponsors

I decided to sponsor a child at Project Canaan because I believe every child should receive nutrition, an education, a home, a family, and love... and that is what they are given at Project Canaan. Because of this place, these children are finally being given what every child should have the right to in life. If I can be a small part of that love it's worth every penny.

I loved the fact that we could travel to this country and see the difference our small donation makes to these beautiful children and meet them and the staff. My daughter and I cannot wait to go back to visit again soon. Our sweet little Angel is growing so fast and all the other children we met.

I sponsor a child through Heart for Africa to make a difference in the world of a child, to give a child an opportunity to feel loved, free from poverty and have opportunities for education.

I’m a child sponsor for Heart for Africa because I’ve seen firsthand the profound difference this charity is making in the lives of children in a country that has been shattered by the impacts of HIV/AIDS. The child sponsorship program creates change—and I encourage you to act now and become a Heart for Africa child sponsor. You’ll never regret it.

As donors and supporters of Heart for Africa, we know that our donations are making a real difference in the lives of Heart for Africa’s children. We can see it in their growth, their smiles, their well-being and the hope that lives within them.
