History of the Organization

Emfuleni Shelter Entance

It was in 1992 when it was observed that there were children, boys in particular who were searching for food in the dustbins, begging and sleeping in the streets. The children were destitute as some of their parents neglected them due to alcohol abuse. Some were orphans due to the Boipatong massacre.

The intention was to rehabilitate them from drug abuse and reconcile them with their families and also to improve their behaviour so that they become better citizens in the future.

Vision

To provide destitute and abandoned boys that are coming through the court of law with a home that will cater for their needs and rights which are; the right to shelter, food, safety, clothing and education.

Mission

To develop and nurture the potential of the boys, preparing them for the outside world with the help of parents, educators, the community, donors, and different denominations.

The primary aim is:

  • To provide shelter, safety and security, nutrition, and education for vulnerable boys between ages of 9 to 18 years with the intention of rehabilitation and improving their behaviour in order to ensure that they become better citizens in future.
  • To achieve the latter through the development, implementation and provision of programmes.

The objective is to:

  • To provide a residential care programme to children.
  • To provide a therapeutic programme to children.
  • To provide a developmental programme to children.
  • To provide a recreational programme to children.
