Making a Difference That Lasts
For children who cannot safely remain within their original circumstances, having a stable and loving family environment can make a profound difference.
​
At Sinethemba, children are given more than a roof over their heads. They are given consistency, relationships, education, guidance and the opportunity to experience the everyday life of a family.
​
Our hope is to give each child the stability they need to heal, grow in confidence and have a genuine opportunity to build a healthy and independent future.

Support Beyond Age 18
Growing Up Doesn't Mean Growing Apart
As young people grow into adulthood, we support them as they take their next steps — whether that means further education, employment, developing practical skills or building a life of their own.
​
Some have gone on to earn degrees. Others have established stable careers and built families of their own.
​
And just as in any family, reaching adulthood doesn't mean the relationship ends. Sinethemba remains a place they can return to, stay connected to and call home.
Some young people who grew up at Sinethemba have gone on to pursue further education and earn degrees.
