Khayelehle Children's VillageThis is a featured page

Khayelehle is an Ndebelle word meaning "Beautiful home". It is an orphanage located in a rural area just outside of Bulawayo. They raise chickens and cows to provide the children with fresh eggs and milk, and they also grow crops such as maize. Most of the children's parents died of AIDS, and some of the children are HIV positive themselves. The children are blessed in that their lives at KCV are stable, with enough food for them all to eat 2 meals a day,
and with overseas sponsors ensuring they have the opportinuty to go to schools.

Some of the kids who grew up at KCV are now working there, some looking after a new generation of orphans, or working the KCV farm. Others have gone on to go to university and study trades. Because there is an 85% unempployment rate in Zimbabwe, it is difficult for many of them to get jobs at the moment, however they are all very hard workers, doing casual jobs whenever they can.
