About Us
OVER TWO CENTURIES OF LOVE & DEDICATION
Established in 1808, the South African Children’s Home (SACH) holds the proud title of being the first welfare organisation in South Africa. Originally known as the ‘Orphan House,’ its formation was driven by the vision and dedication of Mrs. Moller, a compassionate Dutch widow. Supported by members of the Groote Kerk and the Evangelical Church, Mrs. Moller poured her heart and resources into establishing this sanctuary for children in need. The home relocated to the suburb of Gardens in 1923. Forty-five years later, a modern Children’s Home was constructed on the same site, where it continues to stand today.
Now, 216 years later, the SA Children’s Home remains dedicated to caring for children by providing a secure, welcoming, and nurturing environment for its family of 44 boys and girls.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to care for, nurture, and develop children in need, for them to become balanced, well-adapted, and independent adults.
OUR VISION
Our vision is to provide a home for the children placed under our care; a safe, protected, wholesome environment, where they can reach their full potential and become productive members of society.
OUR VALUES
Our values are linked to the acronym HOPE.
Hope is a feeling of trust. Hope is the expectation that dreams will become reality. Hope is actively working to make something true, not giving up for any reason. Hope is the desire to make something (everything) better.
