Our Vision
To provide a happy, safe and secure home for homeless children. To foster an environment where each child can flourish and develop to his/her full potential regardless of race, sex, religion or other defining characteristics.
To promote self-reliance by encouraging life sustaining water resource management and agricultural programmes supporting a nourishing staple diet and organic supplements from arable and non – arable farming.
To provide a focus for cultural community projects and to offer profitable skills and employment within the community.
Our Mission
Our staff regard themselves first and foremost as care givers, which means that their terms of reference are always:
- to be someone the children will be confident that they can rely on and confide in.
- to be understanding and show commitment and compassion combined with sound judgement.
- to exhibit integrity in all interactions with children, the Home and the surrounding community.
- to observe best practice and push the boundaries in their quest for excellence in their profession.
Our Values
We believe that children are the key to the future of any community. Where they have no family support, our goal is to positively transform their early years. By giving them a safe, loving and caring foundation, we believe it is possible to restore their confidence and sense of worth.
We are committed to fostering an ethos of honesty, community service, learning and healthy living through a balanced diet, outdoor games and sports.
Our Team place themselves at the crossroads of the lives of children in need. Our values dictate our behaviours and these values cause us to prize dependable love and gentle, firm guidance as qualities which best support our community. From this platform, children can reconstruct their lives and move in a direction which best express their talents, and benefits the community as a whole.
