"This, and then hell," said a missionary in South Africa when overlooking a poor South African village. He saw the lives of the children in that village and knew what was happening in those lives. Take the eight-year-old girl raising her five-year-old, three-year-old, and infant siblings--alone, scared, starving, and abused, and likely HIV/AIDS positive. What's the answer to this growing problem?
BMW South Africa has started Thandanani--"love one another"--to come alongside African churches "to develop home-based care in households" (from Thandanani brochure), to empower them to get property, to teach them skills and impart knowledge, and to share God's Word and love. You can give financially (100% of the money goes towards the orphans) to Thandanani to supply food packs, blankets, clothing, Bibles, teaching materials, towards buildings, and towards training for the pastors needed to lead the ministries to the children.
