Usindiso Ministries
Shelter for Women and their Children
The shelter for women and their children was extended earlier in 2009 to
include the 2nd floor of the facility and now has the capacity to accommodate
120 women plus their children. The extension happened due to the need for
sheltered accommodation increasing and also the need to separate the abused
women and children from the homeless women and children.

Young Women
Usindiso Board Directors and Management made the decision to incorporate the
Teenage Girls Shelter into the Women’s Shelter to be able to focus on our main
objective, namely ‘Women’. The fourth floor now accommodates young women
aged from 17 to 21 years, who are at school, studying further, or are in a
training programme.

Little Fish Nursery School and Crèche
'Little Fish' is a fully fledged Nursery School that is part of Usindiso
Ministries. The Nursery School runs from Monday to Friday and has up to 40
children, who come from the shelter, and the very needy children from the
surrounding community.
The children are aged from two to six years, and are taught according to the
Montessori method, which does not divide the children by their ages, but they
learn and develop according to stages and the younger children learn from the
older ones.
