History
The focus of the foundation is to assist the affected and infected orphans of the Aids pandemic. At present the Foundation raises funds to educate and feed children and find accommodation for those who are completely destitute. This is becoming ever increasingly difficult due to the increasing orphan population, costs of school fees and food. This project was started by Judia MaDonda in 2004. MaDonda had started doing community work in 1987 working with the University of Natal, Child Welfare and Noah. In 2004 some Norwegian Missionaries built her a house where she had been looking after 12 children in her own inadequate room. From there Hiram Higgins a Presbyterian Minister minister in Eshowe found funds from John Montgomery in Ireland to build the orphanage. Eshowe Rotary Club and other local organizations helped fund and run the organization. At present the over 55 children are fed by ZuluFadder and funded by the same organization.

History
This well run creche in King Dinizulu suburb accommodates over 150 children and is run by Prudence Nyawo and her 9 member team. Children’s ages are from 2 – 5 years old. Prudence started the creche in a small house in 1994. This house was inadequate for the numbers she was looking after. The Creche was built by Eshowe Rotary Club in 1991 with funds from local people, other organizations, The Eshowe Rotary Club and the German Government. This creche serves a valuable service to the community. Parents drop off their children from 7.00 am in the morning. Officially it closes at 12.00 but parents can collect their children up until 3.00 pm.

We have literally, thousands Zulu Children of all ages wanting to learn English in the Eshowe area. They have been taught English at school but need lessons as they get no chance to put these lessons into practice. This is probably the best “lift off” a Zulu child can get to propel them into job situations when they leave school. Being competent in conversational English really puts many opportunities within their grasp. Our primary goal is to be teaching 500 Primary & Secondary School children conversational English in the Eshowe area by 2011. For this we need 50 teachers at any one time. We have earmarked 5 Schools as our primary target all within 10 kms of our headquarters in Eshowe.
