Foster Family Home

The Foster Family Home allows children to learn about love, security and responsibility whilst providing for their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.

Foster parents Solomon and Esther care for, nurture and guide the boys into adulthood, acting as role models and demonstrating good, stable relationships which the children will hopefully one day replicate.

Currently, the Family Home hosts 10 boys though only 4 children are living in home on a full-time basis. 6 of the children are at boarding schools or college, only returning to the home during the holiday periods.

The children attend non-government schools so as to provide them with the best standard of education available. Most of these children are very behind in their schooling so the smaller class sizes found in the private school context offers the best opportunity for these children to learn and catch up.

Once a child settles within the family home, it is amazing to see how quickly they begin to reach their potential educationally. But it is also just as amazing to see their characters change as they develop into mature, trustworthy young men. You can read some of their stories on the ‘changed lives’ pages.

Changed Lives

During the school holidays, several of the boys volunteer to help out in our two centres, teaching the children and sharing their stories with those still on the streets.

Foster parents Solomon and Esther have two children of their own - Ruth and Rinah. Solomon runs a property management company demonstrating excellent work ethics for the boys. Esther is a kind and loving mum who teaches the boys skills such as cooking and growing vegetables in the garden.

The children all attend church on Sundays if they are happy to do so.
