Holy Cross Cape Town
The Holy Cross sisters in Cape Town, South Africa look after orphaned girls (the parents of whom in many cases died of AIDS or in drug related murders) from the townships. At 18 the girls leave the orphanage and the Holy Cross Sisters run a house to look after them and give them a chance for further education. This is all financed by voluntary donations. Emilie’s Charities is sponsoring the further education of three girls (one in secretarial studies, two in nursing) with the objective of giving them a foundation to live independently in the future.
