"JOY AND HAPPINESS" WITH HOPE IN THEIR HEARTS
The children are cared for by Grandma Gertrude, whose only source of income is Lazarus Ministries. Harriet lives in the home and helps with the children and the daily tasks. They all live together as a family unit, they are very happy and are developing well, both at home and at school.

Willy is now 10 years old and lost his mother from HIV/Aids when he was 9 months old. His father was an army man, who went out one morning and never returned. No-one knows his whereabouts and it is believed he is most likely to have died now.
Matia is now 8 years old, his mother died in the labour ward at his birth and he never had a chance to see her; he was left abandonned. His father died of HIV/Aids.
Noeline is now 6 years old and she was abandonned at 3 months of age. Both her parents died of HIV/Aids and she is often very sick; but this has much improved with reglular food and the constant health care which is available to her and has become much stronger.
