Immanuel's Haven Profile

What does your organisation do?
Immanuel’s Haven is a place of care for children at risk.  We have 18 children full time with us for who we care for.  We have a crèche with 32 disadvantaged children in it.  Our plan is to present upliftment courses to the parents of these children as well as other adults and youth.  Our computer lab is nearly complete to present computer courses to these people and youth. 

Other projects will be sewing, basic mechanical, basic woodwork, very basic repairing of small appliances like toaster, kettle, iron, making cards, beadwork, vegetable gardening, gardening (flowers), etc. courses that we would like to present.  Our lecture room will be ready by the end of September to start presenting these courses. How many are employed at your organisation? Eight paid workers and two volunteers. What current projects are you involved in? Providing a safe place for the children in our care.

To bring families together and to teach those in need that they can have better and do better in life To see these families care for their own family and take control of their own lives

It depends what technology we are talking about… computers to teach others to use it and make their lives better.
