Located in Badsberg Close, Heideveld, the It’s Amazing! House is a safe place where a caring house mother stands in the gap for children whose parents are stuck in destructive lifestyles, as well as providing support for the community. We offer practical and emotional support to the community, from making sure children are enrolled in school, to being there for those who need someone to talk to and providing clothes or school supplies.
We regularly visit the homes of the children in our various programmes and reach out to the community, sharing life within our neighbourhood.
The elderly are mostly forgotten, and during our different outreaches we identify their needs and do our best to assist.
We also teach the children from a young age to reach out in their community and care for their community.
Our holiday program mostly mirrors our normal program, consisting of regular visits to the homes of the children in our programmes, assisting the elderly with their needs, and teaching the children from a young age to care for the community themselves. In addition, we add the following
