Over 75% of the children are orphaned from HIV/AIDS with the rest being street children, abandoned, or from destitute families that cannot provide them with the proper care necessary for their upbringing, leaving the children destitute were it not for the existence of Shelter. The orphanage provides the children with a home, food, clothing and an education. Privately run, Shelter receives minimal government funding and survives on the support of a few donors and sponsors.
