Handel, composer of Messiah, conducted annual performances of his great oratorio in aid of his favourite charity, The Foundling Hospital, established in 1739 to care for abandoned children. Today, many children in Africa, orphaned by AIDS, are cared for in similar establishments. The Kaoma Orphanage in Zambia is home to over 100 babies and young children, and is dependent on charitable donations to be able to continue this essential work.
