St George's Home is registered to accommodate 40
girls. The girls are divided into 4 families of
ten. Each family has a qualified childcare
worker (house mother). We also have one releif
childcare worker. The overall care is provided
for by a social worker.
One of our main focuses is to re-integrate the
children with their families as soon as
possible. By providing specialised care and
education and teaching life skills to the girls
within a ecure environment, caregivers empower
them with the necessary skills and knowledge to
become confident individuals.
The girls are fully integrated into the local
community. They attend schools in the
surrounding areas, worship at a church of their
choice and are actively involved in extra-mural
activities.
Some of our Programmes include:
Study-Buddy - Older
children assisting the younger ones with their
school work
Computer Training -
Preparing the girls for information technology
Volunteers -
overseas students spend a few weeks at a time
working at the home
HIV/AIDS Awareness
- Information sessions with our girls and the
community at large.
