Touching Tiny Lives Foundation - Visit Our Safehouse

The TTL Safehome

Having outgrown the original TTL home in Mokhotlong City, a successful fundraising campaign in 2005 led to the construction of the new Touching Tiny Lives safehome in May of 2006. The home provides shelter, warmth, nutritional care, medical facilities, and nurturing for up to 20 children.

Housed within the safehome is a large playroom, two bedrooms, administrative offices, a visitor’s room for family members, and a medical room. The kitchen and laundry facilities are freestanding, and always busy, with 5 meal times and mounds of laundry to prepare each day! The nutritional and medical care provided within the safehome are essential for healthy development and fighting disease. The home is entirely staffed by local Basotho women and men, their salaries allowing many of them to care for large families of their own.

Behind the home is a play area for the children; they spend the majority of the day playing outside, and are enjoying the recent arrival of a swingset. TTL staff will also be cultivating a plot with vegetables and fruit trees, as most homes in Mokhotlong do, to provide additional nutrition to the children.

An additional structure built on the TTL campus is designed to house on-site volunteers, educational programs, and provide lodging for visiting medical care providers and volunteers.
