Shelter for Women and their Children

The shelter for women and their children was extended earlier in 2009 to include the 2^nd 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.

Child and Youth Care Centre - Teenage Girls Shelter

Usindiso's teenage girls shelter opened in September 2007 and is situated on the 4^th floor of our facility at 80 Albert Street. The Teenage Girls Shelter has a capacity for 40 girls. These girls come from the streets and from abusive situations and need a stable environment to heal and restore their lives. The girls are cared for and monitored by Lily Rose, House Mother and child care workers.

Our social workers work towards re-unifying them with their families, but if this is not possible then being integrated into their communities is set as a long term goal.

All of the girls at Usindiso attend school, as education is important for their futures.

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.
