12th July Tebogo Children’s Home

Beauty With A Purpose is the cherished theme of Miss World and embodies the true spirit of the title by helping disadvantaged children all over the world. One recent project is the Tebogo Home for disabled children in South Africa.

Tebogo Home for disabled children was founded ten years ago by a group of parents who had children with disabilities. Set in Orange Farm, one of Johannesburg’s poorest areas, the home is licensed by the Health Department to care for children between the ages 3 and 18 years.

Through Miss World’s Beauty With A Purpose the home was provided with much needed, handmade, specialised medical cots in February this year.

Tebogo Home Director Phindile Dlamini said “These cots will make an enormous difference in the lives of both the children and the staff. It is an answer to our prayers. We had a shortage of beds and those we had were old. “
