Five WAGs care for children who have been abandoned, abused and are HIV positive.

Five WAGs experience the reality of life behind the World Cup gloss by caring for children who have been abandoned, abused and are HIV positive at a kid's home in South Africa.

Five WAGs leave their pampered lives behind to experience the reality of life behind the gloss of the World Cup by rolling up their sleeves to work in some of the poorest and most deprived neighbourhoods in the host nation, South Africa.

Chantelle Tagoe (Emile Heskey's partner), Ellie Darby (Matthew Upson's partner), Elen Rivas (Frank Lampard's ex-partner) and the ex-girlfriends of Jermaine Pennant and Jermaine Defoe - Amii Grove and Imogen Thomas - are faced with the stark reality of the orphan crisis, HIV pandemic and social breakdown there.

Starting at the Baphumelele Children's Home in one of the most crime-ridden and dangerous shanty towns, the girls cover 16-hour shifts, caring for children who have been abandoned, abused and are HIV positive.
