About The Love of Christ Ministries
Established in 1993, TLC is committed to come to the aid of any baby that has been abandoned or orphaned, irrespective of their race or HIV status. TLC believes every child has the right to a loving family, and is committed to finding a home for all the children in its care.
Since its inception, TLC has cared for and enabled the placement of over 700 babies, some through adoption, and a small percentage have even been reunited with their biological parents. The Jarvis family has adopted those children who have not managed to be placed in adoptive homes.
TLC employs both permanent staff and relies on volunteers who assist in the education and supervision of the babies in its care.
Ricoh and TLC
Since becoming involved with TLC, Ricoh has hosted Christmas and Easter parties for the children and donated toys and clothing, helping to improve their self-esteem and quality of life. Ricoh purchases groceries that are delivered directly to TLC and has implemented a cooking programme where staff go in teams and cook one meal for all living at the home.
Ricoh has invested in the Sustainable Farm project which aims to provide all of TLC’s food needs, assist them in becoming a self sustainable entity, to offer opportunities for the children to learn skills, and to produce enough to provide a small income to cover some costs.
Ricoh assisted in revitalising the TLC website, which aims to promote awareness and encourage both local and international financial contributions.
