The Tiny Owls Baby Home has taken in 43 babies since opening its doors in 2018; the team makes sure each baby gets the best start in life before being adopted.
Durbanville, South Africa (14 November 2022) – Kim and Wayne Allen have dedicated the last four years of their lives, to taking in and protecting babies awaiting adoption. They opened their home in 2018 and have since helped care for 43 babies.
Located in Durbanville, Cape Town, Tiny Owls Baby Home provides temporary safety care to abandoned and relinquished babies awaiting adoption. Kim and Wayne converted part of their home into a nursery that can take in six babies at a time.
The team they have built up around them, is dedicated to making sure each tiny baby gets the best start in life. They provide all the care needed as well as cover any medical needs. Above all, they shower each baby with love!
“With our dedicated team of carers, we provide a secure, loving environment for up to six babies at a time in a beautiful purpose-built nursery.
We work directly with both private and state social workers who contact us when a baby is in need of safety care.The social workers are themselves notified of babies through various channels; the police, local hospitals, crisis pregnancy centres or sometimes directly from the birth mothers. Most of the babies we receive are either abandoned or relinquished due to extreme poverty, substance abuse or rape. They arrive generally no more than a few days old and stay for an average of 6 months. Due to their difficult start in life, some babies have ailments or trauma which require special medical attention.
We ensure that every baby receives comprehensive medical attention and the necessary intervention they require.” – Wayne Allen
They have been in awe of the generosity of South Africans dedicated to their cause. They have also seen just how much love there is, despite the hardship involved in child welfare.
