It's all about our children

At Home from Home, it really is all about our children...

...it's about sharing love and warmth and creating families for those who don't have a family

...it's about giving our children the time and space to simply be children

...it's about letting our children feel safe and cared for

Background

Home from Home Trust was registered in May 2005 and much has been achieved since this date.  The Trust was set up by Jayne Payne and Pippa Shaper, who had both worked with this model of care for the past five years and saw the profound benefits for orphans and vulnerable children.  Believing that this model of care provided a viable alternative to institutionalized child-care, the Home from Home Trust was formed with the support of other interested parties.

Home from Home now has seven homes open and is currently caring for 42 children.  We also run the Lizo Nobanda Day Care Centre in Harare, Khayelitsha, providing pre-school care for the under 6's, the majority of whom are in foster care.  This facility cares for a maximum of 40 children  on a daily basis.
