Our 24 hour home care is of a very high standard & we have firm rules/procedures in our nursery. Our goal is a forever family for each child. As most are newborn/HIV+/otherwise challenged, they are handled exclusively by House Parents.
BABY CARE
We care for babies from birth to ±1 yr old, short term, by giving them a home, clothing, food, plenty of love, & cuddling.
We provide a safe place of care for babies in crisis. They are brought to us by destitute mothers, pregnancy crisis centres, hospitals, police, or welfare organisations.
We visit clinics & hospitals regularly for medical care.
Babies needing care are fetched by us from hospitals etc. When ready for adoption, we safely deliver to new parents.
We maintain records for each baby, and also a history by way of photo albums and milestone charts, which is given to each child when they leave us.
We attend certain Court hearings & liaise with Children’s Court and Social Workers about legal issues and paperwork.
TODDLERS & OLDER CHILDREN
We provide emergency & short term care for 2+ yr olds.
We cater for schooling, medical & spiritual needs.
We organise family outings and church attendance.
Students and volunteers interact with our older children.
SPECIAL NEEDS BABIES/CHILDREN
We care for those with HIV/AIDS, cerebral palsy, mental or
physical challenges, hydrocephalus, and high risk medical
conditions like
tracheostomy cases, tube feeders, etc.
We care for terminally ill babies, and allow them to die with dignity and love, in a caring family environment.
We provide individual & specialised medical care & therapy.
We involve local community for prayer & support.
We have a small home in a needy community where we can
provide care to babies, toddlers and special needs children
on a daily
basis, in a well equipped nursery, with a resident House Mother.
We cater for their daily needs & provide the regular four hourly bottle feeds, breakfast, lunch, snacks and drinks. * We help to clothe babies, & provide mothers with extra items & sundries to assist these struggling families.
We assist by taking babies for clinic visits and attending to health needs.
Volunteers & students are extremely helpful in this home.
BABIES/CHILDREN PREVIOUSLY CARED FOR BY US
We maintain contact, & we support babies who return to a mother or relative, and who request our assistance.
We provide for physical needs, as well as sourcing help for their legal, emotional and other needs.
BABIES/CHILDREN/MOTHERS IN OWN HOMES
Often we are asked to assist families where mother is able to keep her child with her, but needs help.
We visit, and provide care & support for child and mother.
SOCIAL PROGRAM FOR NEEDY CHILDREN
We visit & liaise regularly with leaders of various projects for the very needy, about social and practical issues.
We arrange social and educational events for groups, away from their environment, feed them & provide some goods.
Over Easter & Christmas periods, we host many outings &
parties for children. We also travel far & wide to many
projects and
families to distribute gifts at these times.
* We involve community, volunteers & students in outreach.
