Personal message
INTRODUCTION - we are located in Buccleuch, Sandton
The Village Safe Haven is a Group Foster Care Facility that also acts as a Place of safety. We are referred to by law as an Alternative Child Care Centre.
We believe that every child in need is worthy of quality care. We thus do not show preference to any situation. We have created homes for our children and have moved away from away totally from the "institution style" which childrens homes were known for. Love and quality care is what we offer our children and we trust that in turn when our children leave our care as young adults that they leave as young adults of excellence.
Currently we are home to 24 children and can accomodate and extra 6 in capacity as a place of safety.
Our children all attend local schools and pre schools. We run an excellent mentorship programme and exit plan programme.
Out appeal is for assistance of any kind, financial, groceries, clothing, fresh fruit and vegetables.
We would happily give you a tour of our premises and answer any further questions.

The Village Safe Haven is a Group Foster Care Facility that also acts as a Place of Safety. We are referred to by law as an Alternative Child Care Centre and to date, we are in our 16th year of operation.
We believe that every child in need is worthy of quality care. We, therefore, do not show preference to any situation. However, we do not cater for children with serious physical disabilities as we do not have the facilities or staff for this. We have created three homes on the property to include a family structure and have totally moved away from the “institution style” in which children’s homes or “orphanages” were known for.
We offer an encompassed lifestyle of love and quality care to our children and we trust that in turn when our children leave our care as young adults, they leave as “young adults of excellence”.
Without financial and food donations of the greater community and company CSI budgets that support us, our home is simply not able to function. When we receive extras, such as clothes we cannot use, we share with those in need through other NPOs that we work very closely with. We thank you in advance for supporting The Village Safe Haven.
