The Homestead
Projects for Street Children

“Deep within that angry, dirty, glue-sniffing street child is a teacher, businessman, father, husband, a success story, waiting to be set free”

What is Homestead?

At the Homestead we chip away at all the dirt, pain and anger that defines the chronically neglected street child we work with, until eventually, the sculpture within, the beautiful unique child is revealed, healed, educated, developed and given an empowered future away from the street.

Partner
It takes a village to raise a child and the Homestead cannot provide everything for each child. We are therefore very proud of the many partnerships we have with donors, foundations, government, business, schools, service providers, professionals and other NGO’s.
Please get in touch if you would like to become a Homestead partner.
