Have you ever thought of the story behind an abandoned baby?
“I was raped by the father of my child. My mother told me I was not welcome in our house if I had another baby. I gave birth in the veld and left my baby there. I can’t even care for myself, how would I care for a child?” 18-year-old girl from Tembisa
Now you know, become part of the solution: Child abandonment shouldn’t be happening in a caring world. Help someone dealing with an unplanned pregnancy make informed and responsible decisions for their child and themselves, by calling 0800 864 658 or visiting www.crisispregnancy.org.za for information, options and support.
Join the conversation at #choosetocareSA and sign our petition for change at www.crisispregnancy.org.za. Still reluctant to get involved? Imagine that tiny little baby crying in the veld, all alone…

A group of 10 girls from the Russell High Environmental Club were sponsored by the Johnny Lowe Trust Foundation to a two night visit to Bayete Game Lodge in the Zululand Game Reserve. They were given the opportunity to see South Africa's heritage and wildlife firsthand, a first for most of the pupils. They also visited Zululand AntiPoaching Wing Wing in Hluhluwe and signed the World Youth Wildlife Declaration book.
