The House is a group of non-profit community organizations.
South Africa's homeless and destitute youth are grossly under-serviced by government agencies. Youngsters flock to the inner cities when parents are deceased or disease and poverty rob the family of ability to care for children. These children are forced to survive by their own devices on the violent inner city streets.
It is almost impossible for a child to survive the onslaughts of these, some of the most violent cities in the world, with pimps, pushers and gangs running the systems.
We provide resources to at-risk female children and female young adults. Our programs provide a catch-net at street level, a Drop-in Centre, two residential Shelters, personal Skills Centres and self-employment skills Centres.
