History
The focus of the foundation is to assist the affected and infected orphans of the Aids pandemic. At present the Foundation raises funds to educate and feed children and find accommodation for those who are completely destitute. This is becoming ever increasingly difficult due to the increasing orphan population, costs of school fees and food. This project was started by Judia MaDonda in 2004. MaDonda had started doing community work in 1987 working with the University of Natal, Child Welfare and Noah. In 2004 some Norwegian Missionaries built her a house where she had been looking after 12 children in her own inadequate room. From there Hiram Higgins a Presbyterian Minister minister in Eshowe found funds from John Montgomery in Ireland to build the orphanage. Eshowe Rotary Club and other local organizations helped fund and run the organization. At present the over 55 children are fed by ZuluFadder and funded by the same organization.
