SPRING HAS SPRUNG
As we bid winter goodbye and rapidly move into Spring. We take time to reflect over the past months of 2025. A lot of change has been happening in our home life and with it the difficulties that change often brings. Our beautiful home, offered to us by Victory Church, has been sold. We are now officially renters and that brings the cost of rent which we really can't afford. Finances are tight and we now more than ever need financials donations and blessings. We trust in our God for his provision, and we thank every person he sends our way.
Our children are shining in their new online schooling program. Academic results have improved all round, and we are super proud of the effort our children have put in. School fees are another big cost, along with the few very small basic salaries that we need to cover monthly.
For all donations, we are SARS, PBO and NPO registered and approved. Please contact Sue Harris for any tax documentation you require, following a donation received.

Our continued thank you goes out to the Colab Foundation who have taken our home on board. We are so honored to partner with you, in raising every unique special child homed at The Village Safe Haven.
A gentle reminder to our donors. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you require a tax certificate for your donation. Some of our donations are paid with little payment reference information which makes a personal thank you tricky. However, we are extremely grateful for all the donations received and we express our sincere thanks to every person who has supported us along the way.
DONATING THROUGH SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND B-BBEE
We are honored to partner with corporates that would like to donate to a trustworthy and responsible partner, in the upliftment of South African lives. We require financial assistance with our annual Education and Transport, Power and Petrol, Security and Medical costs. Socio-Economic Development (SEDs) forms part of the Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) policy. It is the 5th element of the BEE Scorecard for both Qualifying Small Enterprises (QSEs) and Generic Entities.

"I came from a place where my future did not look very bright. When I stayed at The Village Safe Haven, I was granted so many opportunities. I was given an education and everything needed to help me do well at school. I even had tutors and I was involved in after school help programs.
Thanks to all the support I received, I passed matric with a bachelor degree. I have been placed my first job with the help of Susan Harris and the awesome people surrounding The Village Safe Haven .
I am grateful to my foster parents, Michael and Susan Harris and everyone who has helped me succeed this far in life.
My next plan is to get a tertiary education studying child psychology. This will be my way of giving back to society. I would like to focus on helping kids who think they are helpless by building them up from the inside.
