iKhaya likaBaba is a non-profit organization based in uMhlatuze, KwaZulu Natal, South Africa. The name iKhaya likaBaba is a zulu phrase which means "the Father's House". Its inception and creation took place in the hearts of a group of caring individuals. With the onslaught of Aids/HIV on families and the hopelessness of poverty - we saw a need to create an alternative. A place where abandoned babies and AIDS orphans could find a place of shelter, but mostly love. Where these precious children could know love and be cared for in the way that they deserve.

We provide excellent care that is individually culturally appropriate and situated within the community of Empangeni for abandoned babies. With a trained and skilled staff of caregivers, nurses, occupational therapist, doctors, physical therapists , we provide the best level of medical and physical care targeted and developing each child to its full age appropriate potential and laying the correct foundations for childhood development.

Within iKhaya likaBaba you will find:

Family: A family home environment assisted by volunteers and caregivers.

Holistic and comprehensive care: This includes HIV/AIDS testing with antiretroviral treatment; clothing; nutrition; childhood development assessments and activities that are recreational as well as being culturally appropriate, love, care, safe environment, real family life, a home and not an insititution

Education: Though the children that come to iKhaya likaBaba are generally 0 - 3 years of age, we aim to ensure that developmental games, activities and play are created to create an environment rich with learning experiences and at best being as close to an environment that these children would have experienced at home.

Recreation: outings, age appropriate activities, lots of laughter and fun

Community Relations: Close partnership with the Department of Social Services, Child Welfare, Police and Hospitals to ensure that the intake of children is done quickly and effortlessly to ensure a child's well being and safety.

Adoption and Foster Care: Every effort is made to place a child in a loving family permanently or through foster care as soon as possible. This is done with the assistance of the Department of Social Services and local adoption agencies.
