safe house

Greensleeves Children's Trust has unfortunately not been able to raise any funds to start the new safe house due to several pressing opeational matters that required immediate attention.

 

Right now every single one of our 15 foster homes are full plus our 2 safe houses on the farm.

This means every bed is occupies.   Every home is stretched to capacity.  When the next vulnerable child need safety  we are faced with the impossible reality - there is not where left to place them at Greensleeves.

Our new safe home is not a future dream.  It is an urgent necessity.

In our rural community economic conditions have made fundraising extremely difficult.  Despite our bes efforts,  we have not been able to  raise the funds needed to move this critical project forward.  But the need has not slowed down.  If anything it has grown.

Your support could change this.

A donation toward the new safe house means that a child could be removed from danger and will have somewhere to go where they will get a warm bed, meal and protection.  Schooling at our school on our farm no matter what grade we cater for them all.

Without additonal space we risk having to turn children away - something no child protection organization ever want to face.

We are asking you to stand with us.  Whether through a once off gift or monthly support so that you become part of the solution for the abused and abandoned children of South Africa.

Tiogether we can open the doors of the new sage house to ensure that no child is left without refuge
