Mission Statement

Our mission is to care for, nurture, and develop children in need, for them to become balanced, well-adapted, and independent adults.

About This Cause

Children are the future of our nation and we are grateful that we can serve the children of Cape Town for more than 216 years! The children in our care have been rescued from circumstances detrimental to their physical, emotional, and psychological well-being by the South African judicial system from underprivileged households in Cape Town and surrounding areas. In most of these homes, unemployed parents or caregivers struggle to provide for the basic needs of the family. Most of the children have likely been exposed to drug and alcohol abuse, and are victims of various other forms of abuse—physical, emotional, and sexual. Consequently, these children often suffer from neglect, various forms of prolonged trauma, and developmental problems. Our Residential Care, Development & Skills Program is designed specifically to address these critical issues.
