What is the Baphumelele Children's Home?
Despite saving over 5000 children's lives, the Baphumelele Children's orphanage in South Africa was about to be closed. It was started by Mama Rosie when a baby was abandoned on her doorstep years ago. As hard as she worked trying to give these kids a new life, the children were about to lose the only family and home they’d ever known.
So the team pulled together and started building twelve new homes with an ongoing supply of food and a brand-new playground. We finally surprise Mama Rosie in ‘We Adopted An Orphanage’. Together our films, ‘We Adopted an Orphanage’ and ‘We Saved an Orphanage’ have over 50 Million views and have connected with people around the world, helping raise a significant amount of support to helping the Baphumelele orphanage remain open.
However, our work doesn’t stop when our films do. Mama Rosie and the kids need all the help they can get, and you can go further than views by donating here!
