Over the weekend Mavin Records First Lady, Tiwa Savage, paid a visit to The House Group,
an orphanage located in Hillbrow – one of Johannesburg’s most densely
populated areas known for its high levels of unemployment, poverty and
crime.
Founded in 1990, The House Group is an
organization with several shelters and programs aimed at retrieving and
rehabilitating female victims of child trafficking and sexual
exploitation.
Tiwa, recently became goodwill
ambassador for the ‘Orphanage Africa’, a campaign across Africa which
supports orphanages in need of help rebuilding and refurbishing its
facilities.
She visited the center to create
awareness for the ‘Stop Child Trafficking’ campaign. She was accompanied
by the South African Minister of Home Affairs, His Honourable Malusi Gigaba who, for long, has been in the forefront of fighting against child trafficking and human smuggling.
Tiwa started her visit at The House
Group orphanage by leading a short prayer and spent the afternoon not
only understanding the works of the center but listening to the various
stories each victim told of their experience being trafficked across
Africa.
