This Autumn, I will be taking on the Royal Parks Half Marathon and raising funds for a vital cause. Thank you in advance for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page and for supporting my challenge and donating whatever you can - it will make a massive difference.

The foundation of the Home from Home program is a Loving Family Home. All of our work with children at Home from Home strives to create a second chance for our children to experience family-style life. We do this by providing a comfortable and safe home in the communities from which the children originate and employ staff that speak the children’s language and understand their culture. Foster Mothers are carefully screened at employment and receive ongoing training and supervision from our Social Work Team to ensure they provide a loving caring home that upholds strong family values. Additional support services are accessed for the numerous special needs that foster children often require. We believe that this loving family home environment where belonging and important life values are actively taught, is essential to the care of our children. It is this loving and caring environment, where positive relationships with ‘siblings’ and foster parents are created, that enables our other programmes (Four Pillars) to be effective in remedying some of the further disadvantages our children come to us with. https://homefromhome.org.za/our-work/
