Emasithandane Orphanage Support
Children & Organisation
For the first time, Santacruise tours had a client who has supported the Emasithandane orphanage! It's not just about the beautiful scenic views but also beautiful children who are in-need Emasithandane, affectionately known as Emasi, is a home for vulnerable children. Currently there are over 30 children sheltered by Emasi (including 9 community children who receive their meals and clothing from the home). Emasi consists of three very small bedrooms which house all the children in addition to small common spaces. The vision is to extend the premises to better address the needs of the children.

About Emasithandane
Emasithandane, affectionately known as Emasi, is a home for vulnerable children. Currently there are over 30 children sheltered by Emasi (including 9 community children who receive their meals and clothing from the home). Emasi consists of three very small bedrooms which house all the children in addition to small common spaces. The vision is to extend the premises to better address the needs of the children.
The aim of Emasi is to address not only the basic needs such as clothing, shelter, education and food but also a holistic and nurturing environment which will help facilitate personal growth in the face of extreme odds.
The children at Emasi and in the local community face many obstacles and live in an area experiencing very high rates of unemployment, crime and overcrowding. Despite these challenges we continue to work on the development of new strategies to provide meaningful support to the children and in the community.
We are grateful to generous donors without whom the home could not function. More importantly, we are blessed to have these beautiful children in our lives.
