LUKHANYISO SAFE HOUSE
Registered NPO (Registration Number 082-490-NPO)
LUKHANYISO, means to bring light back into the broken hearted.
The Lukhanyiso Safe House started firstly as a simple soup kitchen, feeding 50 hungry children a day. Most of them had alcoholic or drug addict parents, and there was never enough food in the house, especially over weekends. (Ella knew just how these children felt, as she grew up under the same circumstances). For this reason, she wanted to feed children from her home. Soon there were 13 children sleeping over. Ella had a powerful vision to provide these children with a home, education, food, clothes and mostly love, that they could grow up with confidence, be educated, learn a career and move on to become responsible adults, able to support themselves. Many people asked how they could help, and through the kindness of generous supporters this dream began to grow. Angie and Woody, Emzini Tours and other donors helped us kick-start the project and supported the building of our very first Safe House. Lukhanyiso Safe House was formed 16 years ago, and is a place of refuge, where children can live out of danger.

Education Project
Education is the key to an independent life.
The ages of the children we support through education at the Lukhanyiso Safe House, start from 4 years old and go up to 20 years old. Our goal is to educate each child who comes to stay in the Safe House, to a point where they can be trained to do something worthwhile, be employed or have a skill to start their own business, and all live successful lives.
