The President Plastics team are here holding two of the babies from St Martin's Village. With them are Duduzile Xaba, Tracey Koen and Phila Sibisi.

Abused and discarded babies have endured hardships many adults could not begin to imagine.

Whether removed from their families for their own safety or abandoned, these children may never know their biological parents.

Wanting love and compassion, these infants often face an uncertain future, and this is where St Martin’s Village can help.

Established by the Evangelical Lutheran Congregation, the home offers a place of care and safety.

President Plastics recently assisted by building a perimeter fence around the property. The fencing project began in mid September, and was completed by September 21.

Rebecca Chu, owner of President Plastics, explained her business became involved with the project due to the importance of ensuring the safety of children.

“Children are the future of the country, and we need to look out for them. I also believe it is important to support initiatives such as St Martin’s Village, and I hope other people and businesses will contribute to this cause,” said Chu.

Pastor Thomas Beneke was elated about the perimeter fence.

“We are thankful for the newly built fence, as it will ensure the safety of the babies and our staff.”

Beneke said the toddlers could now play outside and enjoy the home’s grounds to the fullest, and be in a protected area. If you would like to contribute to St Martin’s Village, contact Pastor Thomas Beneke on 081 387 9152.
