Brenda Jooste, our Principal Carer has over 12 years of experience in this field, working for church based organisations providing residential care and support for children in need. She identified a desperate need in the local community for more places of safety and care, and 3 years ago founded Bright Stars.
The Department of Housing provided a municipal house to accommodate the children. The Department of Welfare has limited resources, social grants when available are pitifully small. We therefore rely on the generosity of sponsors to support our projects and day to day requirements.
Every kindness no matter how small, makes a difference!
