Shepherd's Keep is totally reliant on donations.

** Electronic transfers from outside SA carry high costs on both sides. An alternative method is to obtain a bank draft (some countries may call this a bank money order), which is equivalent to a cheque. This should then be posted to us at the address below. We understand that this carries no cost for the drawer, and, providing the document is coded (computer -generated Identification figures appearing at the bottom of the document), then there is no cost to us as well. Non-coded drafts carry a cost of R11.40 per R50 to us

FOUNDERS AND CUSTODIANS: COLIN AND CHERYL PRATLEY

"We realised that these children of up to six months old are surrounded by love, and this is our way of commending the Pratleys for the tireless work they do."

3 babies are abandoned every 48 hours in Kwa Zulu Natal, South Africa.

In 2001, 874 babies were abandoned—that figure trebled in 2002 when 2186 babies were abandoned in KZN.

2003 had 200 abandoned babies per month go through the welfare society of Durban.

Most babies are abandoned in municipal toilets, latrines and refuse bags.

This is mainly due to AIDS, poverty, unemployment.

34% of the KZN population is infected with AIDS. KZN have the most welfare agencies in the country and yet cannot cope. Most of these babies die, as a place of safety cannot be found in time to save them.

The situation is so critical that the newspapers have likened the dustbins in Durban to the GRAVEYARDS OF NEWBORN BABIES AND FOETUSES

The only folk willing to help are too poor to look after any added family and the government grants of R140-00 per month can be applied for, but take many many months to access.
