Beth-Hatlaim (House of the Lambs) is home for 28 orphaned and abandoned children. The children’s home is based on Shalom farm and is being is managed by Angus’s son Fergus and his lovely wife Ashleigh Buchan. Ampie and Bev, a loving couple who have had many years of experience with children are also part of this amazing team and have become the children’s adopted parents.

Beth-Hatlaim aims to provide a permanent home for children, who have been abandoned or orphaned, with no known relatives. They provide care for children who have been infected or affected by HIV/Aids. The Aids epidemic has drastically increased the number of orphaned children in our province and children’s homes such as Beth have become a necessity in our society as more children are abandoned and left to fend for themselves.

They have recently completed two more cottages, bringing the total up to six. Their vision is to have thirty cottages to accommodate 180 children. Beth-Hatlaim is committed to providing a home for the children where they receive well balanced meals, health care, education, clothing, transportation, spiritual nurturing, recreational outings and activities, through dedicated house mother’s making sure that each child receives the care they need.
