Home Sweet Home needs your help to find a place they can call home

Duduza – Resident Kabelo Masina, who is the founder of Home Sweet Home, is in search of a venue the NPO can use to house recovering addicts.
She formally registered the NPO in April but has been operating since 2017, with drug-challenged youth in Kwatsaduza.
Through the NPO she has been providing food for addicts by going to the corners of the streets and has held Christmas parties for them.
“The aim is to get them off the streets by providing a home for them.
“Many of them are homeless due to the pain they have inflicted on their loved ones but if we don’t help them, who will?
“Others do want to change. They need a little push and an environment whereby they won’t feel judged or misunderstood,” said Masina.

The current venue is not bigger enough to carry out their goals.
With the establishment of a safe house, they plan to provide skills development programmes as well.
“We want to restore their dignity and help them back into the community and back with their families.
“What I have noted is some of them, when they get back from rehab, are still not accepted by the community.
“As a result, they start using drugs again,” she said.
The house will not serve as a rehabilitation centre but as a halfway home.
They are looking for a venue within Kwatsaduza.
The former nurse believes that helping those suffering from addiction is helping the community as well.
“I am a mother and a grandmother as well, no parent likes to see their child in such a state,” said Masina.
