Vuyani Safe Haven

Vuyani Safe Haven is a registered Child and Youth Care Centre in Graaff-Reinet providing a loving home for up to 37 children who have suffered abuse or neglect. Since 2000, over 400 children have found safety, healing, and hope through its residential care, therapy, learning and recreational programmes.

Vuyani helps each child grow, learn, and prepare for a brighter future, whether through reunification with family, foster care, or independent living. Supported by a holistic team of professionals and caregivers, Vuyani offers not only shelter but also emotional and developmental support.

Former resident Nosipho Witbooi, now a chef at Samara Karoo Reserve, is one of many whose story turned from trauma to triumph.

At Vuyani Safe Haven, every visit or financial contribution supports the children's journeys from hardship to hope. Your support brings joy and lasting change to their lives.
