Imange’s life transformed from one of abandonment to one of security twelve years ago when she was brought to the Lukhanyiso Safe House in Knysna, South Africa.
She was just 5 years old when her parents walked out of their house, leaving this sweet little girl to care for her 2-year-old brother. It is unknown how many days they were alone; but when the children were discovered, little 5-year-old Imange had been cooking and caring for her little brother.
Today, Imange is a happy 17-year-old teenage girl. Life at the Lukhanyiso Safe House has given her a safe and secure place to live, a house full of siblings and a mom that loves her.
