Our residential and therapeutic programme does not stop the day our young people turn 18 years of age as we have a holistic bridging initiative in place. We believe that our children deserve every opportunity to succeed in life. The bridging programme is comprised of weekly life skills sessions, offered by a team of professionals, for grade 10 -12 learners. We offer young adults support accommodation for the 2 years after they leave our care. During the 2 years, they receive support in finding job shadowing, placement opportunities and in finding employment. We also have a bursary programme offering gifted students the opportunity to study further.
Through your involvement, you will be connected to one of our children and have the opportunity to get a glimpse into their lives.
Supporting this project can see corporates accumulating value BBEEE point and 18A tax certificates. However more importantly, a vulnerable child will be able to break the negative cycle he/she has been born into and have the necessary skills to live a fulfilled productive life and not become one of the crime statistics of South Africa.
