About Us
Our Heart & Passion
Over the years of caring for the kids, there has been an overwhelming desire to redress the socio-economic plight from a more disadvantaged perspective and lend their collective concentrated efforts by way of partnership with the private sector and governmental social responsibility initiatives. Up until this point and over the last 16 years, these partnerships have been there, however they have been rather ad hoc, or better described as informal, which has made the care given, difficult, uncertain, but forever grateful.
The understood challenges at this point is that the world is full of problems which in itself is overwhelming, and it is difficult for any single individual or organisation to take on an initiative, and feel like it is making a difference, due to the monumental task or enormity of the deficit of the world`s woes. Added to the above is the red tape associated to policy, or the lack of integrity and accountability, and in light of this, organisations would rather not be associated with difficulties that is hard to navigate around nor expend on resourceful sponsorship, which ultimately ends up not being stewarded, as intended
The Foundational Understanding & Care Givers
Rajen & Charmaine Rajah
The Rajahs have 2 children who are now adults and have left the family nest to pursue their dreams and aspirations. Over the last 16 years Mr and Mrs Rajah have been parents to 100s of kids that have been taken care of from their home. . These are kids that come from far flung rural areas hundreds of kilometres away, who require schooling in urban areas. Their primary focus has been to provide a home away from home, for all of these kids. Up until this point the kids that have passed through their home have been kids that have been boarded and lodged by parents that could afford the monthly stipends that allowed for a nurtured and caring environment.
Rajen & Charmaine have been actively involved over the years with OCC (Operation Christmas Child), which is a SAMARITANS PURSE global initiative spearheaded by Billy Graham Foundation. They serve in the KZN, Pietermaritzburg region, with Charmaine leading the team as Co ordinator. . In addition they serve within the pastoral fraternity in Pietermaritzburg, as well as share close links with community based organisations across South Africa, Africa & Internationally. Charmaine & Rajen are also full time members of JMR (Jesus Miracle Revival Church), have been for the last 20 years, and are actively involved with ministry on a full time voluntary basis.
