Mants'ase Children's Home UK
Mantsase Childrens Home UK is a registered charity which helps fund the care of fifty orphaned and vulnerable children living at Mantsase Childrens Home in Lesotho, Southern Africa.

They were taken to the safety of Mantsase Childrens Home and have been given the new start they need to allow them to reach their full potential.
