Up to 14 children who suffer from life threatening illnesses are cared for in this center. Many of these children are HIV positive and suffer from associated opportunistic diseases. The programme focuses on the emotional, spiritual and medical care of the children.

Family and extended family play an important role and are encouraged to participate in all areas of the programme, from admission through to death. Children are supported and cared for through all the stages of the dying process. A garden of remembrance provides closure for family, staff and surviving children, once the child has died.
