We continue to be encouraged by the number of boys we meet on the streets of Durban, Stanger and surrounds who come to our Hope Centre to take the opportunities that I Care offers to them.  To make the first steps to change their lives and the hope of a future off the streets.

The rehabilitation centre in KwaMakhutha is a haven for those who are determined to give up street life and they are encouraged by excellent mentors and staff to be resilient to the temptations of their former days and friends on the streets.They have the chance to renew, restore and rebuild their lives.

Our houses have been busy with a fair amount of movement within.  We have condensed all boys into two of our houses due to the resignation of a house parent last year and so one house remains empty for now.  There are four wonderful house parents presently looking after 14 boys.  The boys enjoyed surfing lessons over the summer months which were conducted in Scottburgh and Football sessions need to begin again soon since the loss of our resident coach in Lower Illovo.

The Aftercare project has assisted a large number of direct as well as indirect beneficiaries during the past year.  Food parcels containing both purchased and donated non-perishable foods are delivered monthly to those boys and families who require assistance.  School uniforms and stationery are supplied for those boys who return to school after graduating from our rehabilitation programme and are reunified with family.
