Welcome to Gamodubu Childcare Trust

My name is Shirley Madikwe. I am the director of Gamodubu Childcare Trust located in the small town of Gamodubu in Botswana, Africa.

In 2005, I saw a need for the children in my community. Many were going hungry and other were orphaned or left abandoned all day to care for themselves while their families tried to earn enough money to barely survive.

I began feeding the local children once a week. Within a year I had over 100 children, many orphaned or infected with HIV/AIDS coming to receive meals.

We now feed over 135 children three meals a day. We provide activities through out the day and teach the children trades like gardening and jewelry making. I daily encourage and teach these children to depend on God and grow closer to Him.

We need to build a facility to, not only feed these children, but to also house many of the infants and children who are left abandoned with no one to care for them.

God is my provider and my strength. I have seen Him use many people of different races and cultures to bless this facility, the children and the work He has placed in my heart.

Please subscribe to this blog and keep up with the updates from the facility and the work God is doing in the lives of these children and their families. I am looking forward to being the messenger for the wonderful things God is doing here in Gamodubu.

If you would like to help, there is a link on the side of my blog where you can easily send a tax deductible donation to help support the work we do here with the children. Will you plant a seed today so that I can continue to feed the hearts of these beautiful children I call my own?
