Become part of something bigger with Highveld House
In eMalahleni, this “place of safety” is often Highveld House
When a Children’s Court Order is given for a child in Mpumalanga to leave the family home, for whatever reason, a “place of safety” is essential.
In eMalahleni, this “place of safety” is often Highveld House.
Highveld House aims to meet the emotional, physical, psychological and educational needs of these children in a safe home environment.
The house itself was donated by Highveld Steel & Vanadium Corporation, and has been fully occupied since its opening in June, 1999.
Children up to 18 years and from all race groups are assessed while they live there for up to six months, until a suitable placement can be made for them in a children’s home, foster care, at a school of industries or back in the family home.
Child Welfare SA eMalahleni has created the sub committee who are responsible for running Highveld House.
As the children are not allowed to leave the house without adult supervision, volunteers play a large part in taking children on outings, giving Bible instruction, and helping them with homework, holiday projects such as handcrafts and life skill programmes.
Highveld House, the Child Welfare SA eMalahleni place of safety, invites members of the community to get involved and join Highveld House’s committee.
Should you be interested please contact the house on 013 692 6900 or the office on 013 656 2471.
