We have a little princess on a very important mission with her shopping cart 👑🛒.

As part of the adoption process, our Child Assessment Unit creates a safe and child-friendly space where little ones can express their thoughts, feelings and experiences through creative play, drawing and conversation.

Little voices= big feelings 🤍

WE STAND WITH OUR SISTERS ✊🏽🖤.

They were not statistics. They were girls & women with names, families and stories who deserved to return home.

Today, we wear black in solidarity against gender-based violence and femicide in South Africa. For every woman we have lost. For every family left grieving. For every girl who deserved to grow up safe, and every woman who deserved to return home.

We remember. We mourn. We stand together💜🖤.

LEAVING NO MAN BEHIND👨‍🍼🤍.

It was a privilege to host Connection Impact, who facilitated a Couples Counselling session attended by six of our mommies and their partners. The emphasis was placed on creating a safe space for couples to connect, communicate and grow together.

A special highlight was seeing couples across different stages of life taking the time to invest in their relationships, including our youngest couple, who are in their early 20s🥹.

Healthy relationships lay the foundation for healthy parenting and healthy families 🤍.

Knowledge today. Better choices tomorrow 🤍.

We spent the day engaging with the young minds of St. Andrew's Technical High School in collaboration with Badisa Tygerberg and Uitsig Clinic, with a special focus on teenage pregnancy prevention 🤝.

Open conversations, meaningful questions and valuable information. How blessed are we to share our knowledge, learn together and play a small part in empowering the future leaders of tomorrow ✨🤍.

They say “it takes a village to raise a child” 🧑‍🧒‍🧒

Our safety parents gathered for a special tea at our office; taking a moment to share their stories, reflect on their experiences and celebrate the meaningful role they play in the lives of children 🫖.

We are incredibly grateful for each safety parent who opens their home and heart to provide care, love and safety to a child in need 🧡.
