Bushveld Mission Children's Home

Bushveld Mission Children’s Home is a home for children from infant to 18, and accommodates up to 65 in total. The kids are either orphans, or are handed over by their families due to poverty or domestic abuse. 15 volunteer staff are highly committed to making a real difference in the children’s lives by:

Assisting with schooling and home work

Teaching life skills, such as taking care for a veggie garden, owning live stock and the efficacy of solar geysers.Providing guidance as to how to fulfill duties around home, learning how to cook or to play a musical instrument

Sourcing sponsors for further education, once the children are old enough to “grow wings”

Providing a safe home where they can find love and care, and instill in the children the choice to continue a better way of life when they are older.

What really motivated the college to partner with this particular mission, a registered NGO, was the shared common values: Enabling someone to start a career of their own choice and passion; Empowering others to take on responsibilities and be accountable; Raising awareness of the necessity of eco-friendliness and sustainability.
