As the number of abandoned and orphaned children increases so does the need to bring them into Sandra Lee to be raised in a loving, stable environment.

The Centre has a new home built, which is ready to be furnished and filled with 8 new children, but to do this requires the money to pay a house mother, and cover the childrens' food, utility and medical bills.  There are many ways in which you can make a huge difference to the children of the Sandra Lee Centre.

SPONSORING - By sponsoring a child, whether for their schooling, their food, or their medical treatment you will be directly improving the standard of living for every child.

The cost of feeding, clothing, housing and educating just one child for a month is around £100 or $150.
When broken down into the individual expenses the cost of sponsorship is:
£30 or $45 for school fees and uniforms
£30 or $45 for food and clothing
£20 or $30 for medical and living expenses
£20 or $30 for housing costs (such as utilities and the housemother and aunty)

SLC seeks to give every child the highest quality of life possible, but this is only achievable with your help and support.

To become a sponsor please click on the 'Kids' page, and see which child you would like to sponsor.

GIVING - Alternatively, one time donations make a huge difference in the individual projects at the Sandra Lee Centre. Current projects which require funding to finalise are:
  • buying free range chickens for eggs and meat
  • purchasing female goats to provide milk
  • building rabbit cages
  • purchasing rabbits for food and manure
  • purchasing fruit trees and seeds to help the Centre become more self-sufficient

VOLUNTEERING - The Centre has had a number of visiting volunteers since we opened.  Most are students specialising in teaching, social work and nursing  who choose to have an overseas component in their studies.  The volunteers have added much to the lives of our children, giving them love, added attention and a multi-cultural growing experience.  We are very thankful!
We are always keen to welcome volunteers, whether their skills be working in the garden, building maintenance, administration, teaching, health-care, childcare and more!  If you are interested in becoming a volunteer at the Centre, please get in touch via email: sandraleecentre@live.com
 
                     
Thank you Catarina & Lotte & Ciska for your loving involvement at SLC these past few months. We miss all of you already! God bless you in your continued studies! Come back! (Buyani futsi!)               

PRAYING - The Sandra Lee Centre was opened by Mike and Robin as they were drawn into the fight against HIV/AIDs because of its impact on every aspect of life in Swaziland, finding motivation and strength to do so in the love Jesus Christ has for all humankind.  Your prayer is essential as the children of the SLC have to deal with the impact of abandonment, HIV, TB and other illnesses.



      
Thank you for your support and generosity.
