Help us bring hope

Every dollar makes an impact in the life of a child.

"Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress" (James 1:27a)

About Zanethemba PE

Zanethemba (isiXhosa: ‘to bring hope’) is a baby haven in Port Elizabeth, South Africa that provides temporary safe care for abused, abandoned or neglected children from newborn to 6 years old. The conditions at home have gotten so bad that the children are removed from their families and then placed in Zanethemba's care with a court order. They provide therapeutic services, education, nutrition, access to medical assistance and most importantly, love, in order to show children how to trust and love again. To find out more, visit Zanethemba PE's website.

About Zanethemba US

In May of 2024, Tyler Ayers in Nashville, TN met Catherine Van Ransburg, Director of Zanethemba from South Africa over a Zoom meeting. The rest is not yet history, but history is very much in the making. January of 2025 Zanethemba US was registered as the North American partner of the main charity in SA. We exist to raise awareness and funding so that the Haven has the ability to run at maximum capacity, and care for as many children as possible.
