Ya Bana Village
The Mabopane Foundation founded and helps sustain the Ya Bana Village in Mabopane South Africa. Ya Bana, which means "for the children" in the Tswana language, is a village project aimed at providing orphaned and vulnerable children with permanent housing in a family environment. Trained house mothers offer love and structure along with ongoing programs to holistically address emotional, educational, spiritual, and cultural needs.
