URGENT NEED:
The centre operates from a leased house in Tembisa. The Lease agreement will expire soon and we NEED A NEW HOME built or rented for the children. We must be out as soon as possible due to the owner wanting his house back immediately.

We welcome all help to make it this happen for the children. Help us help them finally have a place to call home forever.
