The reality of the matter is that the need is so great for a project like this that we are not able to limit our intake age from 8-18 years. Depending on the individual client, we accommodate younger and older girls at times as interim or short term placements Especially over weekends and holiday periods Rape victims Domestic violence victims

Babies are also accommodated at times: We have a wall that was erected to save unwanted babies Some girls come to us already expecting Some girls already have a baby SAPS also bring babies in the middle of the night if they are found abandoned, if mothers are arrested, or if it is a case of abuse These infants and toddlers are immediately referred to New Beginningz Children’s Village, whom are collected within an hour.
