In 2012, we opened a residential care facility for children at risk. Coming from homes broken by HIV, drug abuse, domestic abuse and extreme poverty, we provide a safe and stimulating environment where children can learn and be cared for, while their families get back on their feet. In 2018, we reintegrated our remaining at-risk children into supportive extended family units, where we'll continue to guide and counsel them in the loving environment of their family homes.
