Heavens Nest Child Care and Recreation Centre

Heaven’s Nest serves as an emergency foster facility for children who have been subjected to abuse, abandonment, neglect or have either been affected or infected by the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Our vision is to alleviate the plight of such children, by providing nurturing care and building self-confidence so that they can be reintegrated into the wider community, free from stigmatization. To break the cycle of abandonment, abuse and neglect by empowering them to become healthy, happy and well-adjusted adults. A child in need is our child indeed and cared for in the spirit of Love, Hope and Peace.

Youth Development

Heavens Nest does not believe in institutionalisation and institutionalising young people and we use this measure as a very last resort. Since inception, ±1500 children have passed through our doors with many of them being placed in improved conditions with family members, foster or adoptive parents. Heaven’s Nest has forged a link with Child Welfare and Social Service and accommodates approximately 15 children at any time. This is Heavens Nest proudest achievement up to date
