We’re throwing a birthday party for 170 Abraham Kriel children


A birthday is one of those special days every child looks forward to. Sadly, for the children of Abraham Kriel, a day that should be filled with laughter and love is often just another ordinary day.

This year, we want to make every child feel special by throwing them a proper birthday party!

On Saturday, 1 March, we celebrate the birthday of our children’s home’s founder, Rev. Abraham Kriel. On this day, we will treat each of the 170 children in our care to a grand, shared birthday celebration!

We will fill the day with colourful balloons and confetti, enjoy cake and cupcakes, blow out candles, hand out party packs, and give each child a birthday gift!

However, due to our limited government funding, we need your help to make this party a reality.

If you would like to help ensure that every child gets to blow out a birthday candle, you can make a once-off donation to Abraham Kriel Children’s Home Nylstroom.

You can deposit your contribution directly into the children’s home’s bank account:
