Welcome to Tyla


Tyla Atherstone is our latest volunteer. She arrived on 22 March and has already ' found her feet' and is an immense help at iKhaya. She has a wonderful way with the children and they trusted her and warmed up to her quickly. She gets down to their level and plays with them. In between this all she is re-stocking, ordering, doing charts, administration and organising. Welcome Tyla!


"Hi, my name is Tyla and I am 18 years old. I currently live in Reading, England with my parent, rwo sisters and brother (who I miss a lot!). I am originally from South Africa but we moved to England in 2002.I have finished school and wasn't ready to go to University just yet (can't think why?) but I am going to University in September to study Finance and Accounting. So, I have taken a Gap Year . I have been working mostly this year but have always wanted to help in another country with children. That is when I heard about iKhaya likaBaba. iKhaya LikaBaba has been so welcoming and I love to be and play with the children. They have infectious laughter which I love!

iKhaya LikaBaba - The Father's House

This blog picks up from where Mel and Sean left off , after pioneering iKhaya right from day one .Almost 3 years ago, holding fast to a dream in their hearts , leading to one baby in their home, it has grown and grown and grown with much hard work, lots of challenges as they have faithfully built this home in love and incredible sacrifice and faithfulness-never losing sight of His call. iKhaya Likababa is a non- profit organisation, transition home for orphaned and abandoned babies in Empangeni, KwaZulu Natal,South Africa, Africa and beyond.
My dreams are to see these little children being nurtured and made whole again as develop into strong men and women of God, whilst being embraced in this family. I would love to see the Mothers and Fathers of these children being restored, supported, equipped and with hope in their lives again, walking with God.
This blog captures this journey of iKhayaLikababa and will keep everyone aware and involved in the lives of these little children.
