To promote healing and transformation in communities through significantly reducing the impact of addiction on the lives of young people by providing values-based programmes that address the specific needs of children in need of care in a holistic and comprehensive manner.

At Heatherdale Children’s Home, as part of the vision of the Methodist Church of Southern Africa, we strive to transform the lives of children in need of care for whom addiction (substance use) has a detrimental effect on their development. We provide a nurturing and comprehensive residential programme that incorporates rehabilitation together with an extended therapeutic development programme. These provide children with the opportunity to break the cycle of addiction and adopt life-affirming values that lead to sustainable behavioural change.
