Few are actually orphans but all have been put into the home due to family problems such as poverty, abuse, drug use etc. The children live in family units of mixed age and sex. Each unit has 8- 10 children and a "mum" who looks after them full time. Each group lives in a separate house.

As well as the mums the home also employs a nurse, a nutritionist, a cook, a social worker, a couple of doormen, a store man, a secretary, and then the Director and his wife.

All the children attend school in the morning apart from a few very young children. The home has reasonable facilities, e.g. a play area with swings etc., a football ground, a small orchard and a pond. There is also a games room that volunteers run for a few hours every week and a library that they also help with.
