Cape Town Village
| Established in the year of
South Africa's new democracy, Cape Town Village opened its doors to
orphaned and abandoned children in 1994, and was honoured to be
officially opened in 1996 by former President Nelson Mandela and our
SOS-KDI President Helmut Kutin. |
|
| Situated in Thornton, formally a "white" middle-class suburb,
this Village is about 10km from Cape Town, and is home to 141
children. Village Director: Dawie Marais Tel: +27 (0)21 531 9487 Email: dawiem@mail.ngo.za Village Secretary: Email: soscapetown@mail.ngo.za Kindergarten Principal: Brinthia Dawood |
|
| Because of it being set up at the time
of South Africa's new democracy, it was the first Village that was able
to take in SOS mothers and children of different races to live together
under one roof. Up to eight children share a home with an SOS mother, and enjoy the love and security that living as a family brings. Here the children pray before meal time with their SOS Mum.  |

| Two great men enjoy a great
occasion - the opening of Cape Town Village in 2001. The Village also has a community-based Family Strengthening Programme which supports families in need. Village Fundraiser: Paul Senosi Tel: +27 (0)21 531 0547 Email: pauls@mail.ngo.za |
