Plans are under way to rebuild a Durban children’s home destroyed in a fire five years ago.
“This project is huge for the city because there are not many homes for children, so I hope it’s completed as quickly as possible.”
“This place had two buildings. It was the Edith Benson babies' home, which housed babies from newborn to five years old, who were abandoned, then we had children from five to 12 in the other section, the William Clark. We had to put all of them there,” Msomi said.Msomi said the organisation had to stop taking in babies due to lack of facilities.
Msomi said there was a “huge backlog” of babies who needed to be housed, adding the number of abandoned babies in South Africa had increased from 3,500 five years ago to between 7,000 to 10,000 a year.
