Dorah is an angel in her own right. She has dedicated her life to help orphaned children in Roodepoort, South Africa (and the surrounding area). Dorah’s Ark is located in the old Roodepoort library. At any given time, we take care of +-35 children ranging from new born to teens. Again, this organization is run on firstly prayer and then the generosity of the community.

In January 2017, Mum Dorah was hospitalised and sadly passed away during the late hours of the night. Unbeknown to Kirsten and Anthea, it was announced at Mum Dorah's Funeral that her will had stipulated that Dorah's Ark was to be handed over to Wings of Inspiration to manage and facilitate its operations.
Dorah's Ark was then officially handed over Wings of Inspiration, and it is now known as the Wings of Inspiration Dorah's Ark Orphanage.
In June 2017 Wings of Inspiration partnered with STANLIB on a special project - the Dorah's Ark Orphanage 10 Day Makeover Project. The makeover comprised a full facility renovation, new kitchen, new bunk beds, new bathrooms and toilets, new furniture - a complete home makeover.

In June 2018 - Wings of Inspiration identified the challenges of the boys and girls living in the same "space", and and we had to ensure the safety and healthy upbringing of our Teenage Youth.
