Short to medium term plan

Since there is a dire need for children to be taken care of in Gauteng, the Department of Social Services has recommended that we get all our houses repaired and habitable to accommodate children. The property requires maintenance and is currently semi-functional; five homes are presently providing shelter for 30 children between the ages of 1 and 18 years of age. An additional 5 homes are being used as offices, edu-care, learning centre, library and social services office. Vacant sections of the property have been earmarked for the development and construction of recreational facilities,a hall needs to be built on the premises, where we can assemble up to 500 people at any given time for folks from the community to gather for seminars to create awareness and address the different ills in our society. It is our aim to establish community gardens and crop production -Expertise are required to assist with hydroponics farming and veggie gardens; sponsors for these are required.

Our focus this year is to implement additional programmes to empower our children viz. education & skills development, therapeutic, health and sport & recreation.

Our property also boasts an Olympic size swimming pool that is in need of repair.

The intention is to have individuals and companies repair the houses and brand them. It is also our intention is to have the homes furnished by individuals and companies as well as perhaps maintain them.
