In a community battered by poverty, gangsterism, abuse and despair, It’s Amazing rises as a beacon of hope, healing and possibility.
We are more than just a community initiative. We are a family. A safe haven. A place where brokenness meets love, and forgotten dreams find a way to live again.
For 15 years, we’ve been standing in the gap for the most vulnerable — children, women, and families struggling to survive in the face of overwhelming odds. But here, survival is not the goal. Transformation is.
We believe every person matters.
We believe that love can break cycles.
We believe that with care, consistency and truth, communities can be rebuilt — one life at a time.
At the heart of everything we do is a simple yet profound mission:
To speak up for the voiceless.
To serve with compassion.
To lead with truth.
To live out a new attitude to life — grounded in faith, hope and unity.
Located in Badsberg Close, Heideveld, the It’s Amazing House is where the heartbeat of our mission lives. It’s a safe place. A refuge. A second chance. Here, a caring house mother becomes the anchor for children whose parents are caught in cycles of addiction, violence or neglect.
This house is more than walls and a roof. It’s a symbol. Of what’s possible when people choose to care deeply, serve selflessly and believe fiercely.
You don’t have to live in Heideveld to help change it.
Your time, your voice, your donation — every act of generosity adds another brick to the foundation of healing we are building together.
Whether it’s a once-off gift or a long-term commitment, your support helps us provide:
The Cape Flats is often known for crime and hardship. But there’s another story unfolding — one of resilience, redemption and revival.

Step inside their stories. You’ll find hope there.
Everyone calls me Sam, but my real name is actually Samantha George, and I got a certificate for ballroom dancing when I was only five years old. I still jump and dance to wherever I want to be. Myself and some of the other kids sometimes sing along and throw our bodies around until it freaks out the aunties at the Kid’s Club. And then we laugh because they are so stervy….
The kids shout at me and call me Bunny. It is very ugly to call someone that, but they do it anyway… I stay with my great grandmother and I am nine years old. I realise now that life has not turned out like I thought it would.
My mother is a Tik addict and she wanted to drown me in the toilet when I was two weeks old….
I am one of seven children from different fathers, but we have the same mother. We are actually six now after my brother was shot on Christmas day last year. It was a bad day, and everything was all mixed up. My baby brother is very cute, and my mother says he is her blessing.
My biggest dream is to be a…
We’ve seen what love can do.
We’ve witnessed lives transformed.
We’ve earned the trust of a community that once had none to give.
But we are not done yet.
There is still more to build. More to heal. More to dream.
And we would love for you to be part of this amazing journey.
