Personal message

We are currently having a really tough financial time at the Village, but strangely it’s also been one of the most peaceful times in the home that we have had for a long time - and we are still managing to shield the children from the financial stress. From August last year our cash income started dropping dramatically. By the end of February 2020 we were short of nearly half of our monthly requirements each month, and that has continued. Lockdown has prevented the community from dropping off so many of the things we need, and the chain stores have stopped delivering the nearly-expired stock which has been the backbone of our food supply for many years. We need help.

We want to help in any small way we can, by asking friends and family to sponsor me R1 per kilometer, my target is the full Comrades distance of 90km.

Running for a good cause makes it all worthwhile.

The Village Safe Haven

Charity Default Logo

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.
