Leliebloem House is an Anglican Children's Home for 84 abandoned and abused children. It is our task to nature them, and to seek to return them to their communities as soon as a stable home environment can be established. All the children are sent to us as wards of court. They are therefore the responsibility of the State. A per capita subsidy is received which covers approximately 60% of the cost of looking after the children. The home is run on Christian lines, and sees each child as loved by God and hence deserving our love and care. There are six cottages of 14 children each. A house mother looks after each cottage and we try to create a family feeling for the children. We run a Family Reunification Programme that works with the families in the community. Children are returned to their immediate or extended families when suitable condition exist for their reintegration. Between 20 and 30 children are reunited with their families each year.
