They provide 24/7 care to over 120 children a year at their residential Place of Safety, plus many more in the rural community. Many of the children that are place here are suffering from malnutrition, have been abused sexually, physically and emotionally, and are in poor health on arrival, including the devastating effects of HIV and TB, which are extremely high in their district due to extreme poverty and lack of available service delivery. These babies and children arrive at the Centre with nothing, only the clothes on their backs, no bags, no toys, no toiletries, no clothes...just their fear and loneliness of being removed from the only home they knew....even though it was a home that hurt them and neglected them.

Over 25 years, we have worked with over 80 000 children in our Centre and in the community to ensure they are safe, secure and loved.
