Lasting change for children in need.
Be part of the change. Join African Blessings on our journey to empower and uplift children in need.
African Blessings seeks to build a generation that has risen against all odds, yet is ready, prepared and confident to take a seat at the table. We aim to help the children in our care to join a new generation of leaders who solve problems and find new and creative ways to grow and improve through equity, distribution and edification.
Jochebed
Children's Village
Jochebed Children’s Village consists of 16 homes that provide a safe haven and offers a second chance for
at-risk children. Each home is run by foster parents who look after six children. African Blessings believes it’s crucial to
provide our children with an upbringing that is as normal and family orientated as possible.

Every child in our care receives:
Facilities
Donations received from corporates and individuals are used to build a foundation for lasting change. Through these donations from our generous benefactors, we are able to commit to a sustainable impact on the lives of our children that extends far beyond immediate needs.
Mile stone objectives which will have a significant impact on the well being of the children in our care include the recent completion of the Komatsu Trust Foundation Sport’s Field and a state of the art Occupational Therapy centre. Other facilities which are ongoing include the Equine Therapy Center, the Early Learning Centre, Speech Therapy, Trauma Counselling as well as other specialist psychology and educational programs focused on the specific needs of each child.
