Homework Tutors and Teen Tutors.

We are in desperate need of people to commit an hour or two a week to assist children with homework.  This involves one on one time with a child and the commitment is very important.  We need tutors for both primary school and high school grades.  

 

If your teen has an hour or two to spare, this is a lovely social responsibility programme they can get involved in.  Even reading to the nursery school children and babies.

Subjects include:

English, Maths, Afrikaans, Reading, Spelling.

About Us

We are a Cluster Foster Care Facility also acting as a Place of Safety to orphaned, abandoned and abused children.  We operate on Christian principals and values.  Please note that we are HIV/AIDS friendly but we do not prioritise the virus.  We do believe that every child in need deserves a HOME therefore we operate on a first come first served basis.  We also house children of any age provided they are in need.

 

Our aim is to offer LOVE and QUALITY CARE in homes and as a result we are praying for and WE ARE TRUSTING THAT WE CAN PLACE YOUNG ADULTS OF EXCELLENCE BACK INTO SOCIETY.  Persons of worth who will in turn offer love and care to others as they have received it.  

Our Mission
Facilities

Presently we are running two homes on our property which is home to sixteen children.  Of those sixteen children two are place of safety children.   We are in the planning stages of building two more homes for children of which one will be a dedicated Place of Safety Home to house twelve children and the other will be a dedicated Foster Home to House six children. Ultimately caring for 30 – 36 children at any given time.

Management & Staff

The Village is professionally run and managed. The team consists of a board of various professionals who give of their time voluntarily, a management team of senior employees, a team of house parents and caregivers that are suitably qualified. Together this team ensures that the Safe Haven operates smoothly and efficiently, meeting our overall objectives.

Funding

We rely on private and corporate funding.  We receive a nominal amount of government funding.  We desperately need your committed monthly donations to cover the basic monthly expenses which increase as the number of children increase.
