Child Protection and Adoption Services

Services are provided from our head office in Fairvale, Johannesburg, which houses the administrative staff and our Mpepu project, which facilitates our temporary safe care work that caters for 6 children. It has a beautiful garden and safe play area. We have satellite offices in Johannesburg, Sedibeng and Ekurhuleni. In addition to Mpepu, we partner with temporary safe care facilities around Gauteng.

We believe children should be raised in a family environment in which they can thrive. We strive to avoid removal where appropriate, and return children to their family as quickly as possible after removal or find an alternative family, ie adoption. The family of origin is always the first option for a child’s placement, and alternative placement is considered and pursued only if this is not viable. 95% of our children are placed in a family environment within 2 years, and because of careful screening and monitoring, 98% of these placements are successful.
