Business Details

WE EXIST TO CREATE AN EFFECTIVE LIFE CHANGE PATHWAY ACCESSIBLE TO EVERY PERSON EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS IN SOUTH AFRICA. WE BELIEVE GOD MADE EVERY PERSON INTRINSICALLY VALUABLE AND NO-ONE SHOULD HAVE TO SLEEP ON THE STREET.

This is one of our 15 Retails stores. We also have a beautiful Retail Bus which is a fully stocked double decker clothing bus, a first in South Africa. We have this amazing nursery called Living Roots which you can also support. Another one of our social enterprises is called Build Back, go check them out and please support them. 

All of our social enterprises offer work opportunity and skills development training for our champions preparing them for the open labour market. Some of these champions go on to apply for permanent positions within our organisation. 

We are in existence for over 25 years and we have crafted an innovative skills based programme designed by a multidisciplinary team of Social workers, homeless support workers, Occupational therapists, counsellors, trainers and life coaches. The programme is Christian faith based, with long term results for rehabilitation and reintegration. Six months after graduating from the programme, more than 80% of participants remain sober and employed. 

Our Phased Programme

Starts with basic needs relief, like food and clothing, available at our First Phase Service Centre. It continues on to Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Support, and finally culminates in a work-based learnership that lasts on average 19 months, called the “Life Change” programme, which nurtures an individual’s personal and vocational skills, as well as relapse prevention. Every single cent that you spend at one of our social enterprises goes back into the very important work that we do. We believe God made every person intrinsically valuable and nobody should have to sleep on the street
