It was a ‘magic’ year
Director’s message
Phouzaan Siebritz, who is one of The Homestead board members, always uses a different word to define his theme for the year. For the year under review his word was ‘magic’, and boy, did Phouzaan make magic. He turned a very tight soccer field budget into a ‘healing park’ that gave The Homestead Child and Youth Care Centre (CYCC) not only a soccer field, but also goal posts, an outdoor gym, a jungle gym, a fynbos garden, a little gazebo and an irrigation system. I think Phouzaan’s ‘magic’ must have rubbed off on all of us as, I am happy to report, The Homestead really did have a brilliant ‘magic’ year last year. Residential Programme: The Homestead Residential Programme continued to develop specialised residencebased intervention programmes for street children under Charmaine Germishuys and her team. Over the course of the year, this department worked with 160 different children to move them off
2
the street, return them to their homes or develop a future for them away from street life. The Intake Centre in District Six, thanks to Charles Eijkleboom, Rene Parent and their Antwerp friends, underwent a total strip and redo of the two dormitories and bathrooms. The children responded well to these bright, light and child friendly spaces. Each child has a new bunk bed and a bedside locker, and they share comfortable bathrooms. We also managed to upgrade the upstairs workroom, tile the floor and stairs, install a fire protection and alarm system, properly channel old wiring and fix leaking windows. Programmatically, we successfully piloted a morning education programme for those children who do not yet attend school. The programme is now a part of the set daily routine of this centre. We are looking forward to formalising the centre as a statutory stabilisation programme, with a structured outreach component, but must first focus on completing the refurbishment of this centre to meet new compliance and registration requirements, which are due by November 2015. We are very grateful
to the Rolf-Stephan Nussbaum Foundation which purchased a new vehicle for this centre that enables children go to the clinic, court, on home visits, to school and more. The Child and Youth Care Centre in Khayelitsha settled into its new role as a therapeutic and transitional residential care programme. Tight management, careful structuring and improvements, thanks to our donors, such as the soccer field and healing park really saw us through. Now this centre stands out in the community as a centre of excellence, and a real community asset. It passed its registration process, a new government requirement, with flying colours. We cannot wait for the new Hans Katoen Pavilion to be built, thanks to Wings of Support and the Hans Katoen Estate. This will offer a central community space, a wonderful new multimedia centre, an emergency and new placement dormitory, a sickroom, a playroom and a therapy room, all opening up onto our soccer field. This centre is now fully on stream and just requires further programme refinement to ensure children get the therapeutic and transitional care they need to empower their futures.
Prevention and early intervention programmes: Under the guidance of Zanele Sokupa and her team, the prevention and early intervention (PEI) department had increased attendance, improved facilities, an expanded daily programme and the reintroduction of parent training, school attendance and therapeutic support, and social work referrals across all projects. Following on the success of our Valhalla Park programme, which continued to be oversubscribed with 140 children attending twice a week, we replicated this structure in Manenberg, opening a changed programme in a new, safe space and working with 70 children twice a week, up from 25 at the previous facility. The children who were part of our old programme, although initially resistant, have also now started to come over to the new centre. We are grateful to the communities of Harvest Time Ministries Valhalla Park and Silverstream Tabernacle Manenberg for allowing us to base our programmes in their facilities. The Woodstock-based drop-in programme, focused on children living on the street in the central business district, also saw an increase in the number and regularity of children attending, while our Khayelitsha Site C Drop-In Centre experienced a 100% increase in
attendance numbers, and now helps over 55 children a day. Our Aftercare Programme at Isikhokelo Primary School continues its success at keeping high-risk children at school, and our outreach workers continued to reach and transition children off the streets of Cape Town, Khayelitsha and Manenberg. The Homestead PEI programmes aim to reduce vulnerability, hunger and neglect, support school attendance, preserve families and keep vulnerable children from moving onto the street. This means working with 300 different children a week and providing thousands of meals a month. It also means that to reach children when and where they are most vulnerable we must offer a consistent programme in the most deprived, drug- and gang-infested, and crime-ridden communities of Cape Town, placing The Homestead team and volunteers in extremely dangerous situations. We are therefore very grateful to the Department of Social Development, which provides most of the funding for these projects, and to Redhettalent and Action for Street Children, which helped us buy a safe and reliable new vehicle to move staff, food, equipment, volunteers and children around.
Other developments: During the year under review, the ‘magic’ enabled us to put a new roof on our Strand Street office, purchase equipment and appliances, design a new logo, introduce 24-hour security and CCTV cameras at the CYCC, install real-time monitoring in all our vehicles, simplify and tighten up the purchase system, and stabilise our human resources structure. Currently The Homestead has only one vacancy, has no more part-time or fixed-term contracts, has increased operations staff for better services, increased our minimum wage substantially and created two new posts in the PEI department to help with increased workloads. We also welcomed our new accounts manager, Lindani Mzamo, who along with Zaitoon Abed, our treasurer, has improved and streamlined our accounts system. Project Dignity, which ensures that our children are properly cared for, not labelled, and able to fit into ‘normal’ society, continues to make huge strides. Childcare workers now have access to vehicles, allowing children to freely participate in community, recreation and school life. A new clothes budget was introduced that gives children choice in buying their own clothes. Doubling the food budget has meant vastly
improved menus and happy boys. Installing new TVs and decoders means the children can properly watch the soccer they live for, and the generosity of volunteers means our boys are doing everything from sailing to horse riding, and the PEI children are enjoying great events, outings and special treats. This all makes for happier children and the boys wanting to give back: for instance, they did their 67 Minutes for Mandela this year by helping at an old age home and holding a car wash to help raise funds for The Homestead. Yes, it was indeed a ‘magic’ year at The Homestead, made possible by the efforts of so many. I see how hard you all work to twist arms, do things to raise money, get your communities and companies to help, push your friends and family to join the effort and ensure that each month your contribution comes through to us. Your generosity makes our success possible and the children, staff and I are extremely grateful to each and every one of you. Thank you.

Treasurer’s Report
The Homestead continues to operate prudently under the directorship of Paul Hooper. In this financial year he has again streamlined operations and the staff have responded well to his cost saving measures. The surplus on our Income Statement will be carried forward into 2015 for operations. The Income Received in Advance is the ongoing Sponsorship Education Fund set up by the Borman family and their wonderful family and friends. We also received funds from Wings of Support together with the Hans Katoen Estate that are earmarked and restricted for renovations to the middle cottage of our Child and Youth Care Centre in Khayelitsha, which are currently under way. We have also received funds in advance from Eijkleboom towards the renovation of the Intake Centre. Our investments are funds held in reserve as operational costs for one year. 4

The Homestead’s new logo Every great brand needs an update from time to time to keep up with changing times. Now, thanks to extensive input from The Homestead children, staff, board, donors, volunteers and focus groups, as well as the hard work, research and creativity of Warren Lodge from Lifebrand and Tshepo Modise-Harvey, The Homestead now boasts a brand new look, a brand new logo. We hope you enjoy our fresh new energy, our focus on empowering children and the placement of children at the heart of all that we do. The Homestead children love the new logo and are incredibly proud to be associated with The Homestead. We believe the new logo gives The Homestead a clear path forward while keeping us grounded in the history and tradition of the organisation, going back to 1982 when it all began. What do you think?

Volunteer profile: Heike Brunner Thank you to Heike Brunner who has been a volunteer at The Homestead Intake Centre since 2012, doing drama sessions every Saturday morning with our boys. Her drama games provide the boys with hands-on, experiential learning that engages mind, body, voice and emotions, which they can use to interpret and convey information and ideas to others. It encourages characterbuilding, concentration, getting to know yourself, group cohesion, improvisation, listening and trust. It also teaches the boys to imagine, explore, create and share with others. We are very grateful to Heike for her consistent and generous contribution to the boys. We are also touched by how much more she does, for instance linking us up with the Ikapa Dance Studio, taking our boys on numerous outings (to the Baxter, Artscape, mountain hiking, the beach, and more), raising money for 12 boys to receive drama therapy from Zakheni Training and Development Centre, and helping our boys to find holiday employment. Thank you, Heike, for being a very special part of the boys’ healing.

New dormitories and bathrooms – Intake Shelter The boys love their new dormitories which have opened up the whole space, making it more child friendly and up-to-date.
8
Opening of the new soccer field The boys love their new soccer field, which was opened at our last annual general meeting in memory of Sandile Mhi. Some games last more than four hours over the weekend and community children also benefit from the facility that our generous donors made possible.
Annual General Meeting Our annual general meeting, held in Khayelitsha to celebrate the official launch of our new soccer field, was well attended by supporters, VIPs, community members and even members of the national government. A great time was had by all with song and dance by The Homestead children, music by the Rondebosch Boys Preparatory School orchestra, and a hard game of soccer between The Homestead and Ajax Cape Town. We are not sure who won the soccer but The Homestead did score a goal!

Paintings by the boys with guidance by Rachel Malubila We are so pleased by the great outcome of this little project where Rachel spent numerous hours working with our boys to create a number of canvas paintings. These incredible pieces will be auctioned at our fundraising event in September 2015.

The year ahead and how you can help Without your support, The Homestead would not survive. It is your kindness and generosity that is the basis of our success and we are grateful for every single contribution. Together, these make it possible for us to empower hundreds of lives each year. This year we once again need your help. Ongoing revamp of the Intake Centre: Based in District Six, The Homestead Intake Centre has successfully helped thousands of children over the years. It is a key programme for keeping children off the street and a programme that works with about 100 new children a year. The centre is now 25 years old and is in need of a total strip, refurbish and restructure so that it can meet modern health, safety and childcare standards. Last year we were able to strip and refurbish the dormitories and bathrooms, and install fire safety equipment and alarms. This year we need to do some extensive changes to the kitchen, lounge and workshop areas. The kitchen has to be moved out into its own space, we need to make the lounge/dining room area much bigger, and we need to build a medical/sickroom and install a library and new computer area. The basic building costs for all this will be about R450,000. We will also need your help with: • A new stove and chest freezer, and new kitchen cupboards, fittings and equipment 12
• Plastering and repainting the exterior of the building • New outside paving • A new outdoor recreation area with artificial grass • Library shelves, books and beanbags • Sickroom beds and equipment • Repainting and equipping of staff room and staff bathroom • Laundry shelves • Installing new computer tables and reinstalling and updating computer software/programmes • Brightening up the upstairs workroom (repaint, new greenboard, make it school friendly) • A security gate to close off the upstairs workroom. These changes will ensure that the children we care for receive the therapeutic services they need to successfully transition away from street life, be reunified back home
or move on to alternative care, such as to our CYCC, for more in-depth healing and development. It will also enable this centre to be reregistered as a statutory stabilisation programme, the first of its kind in the Western Cape, and allow for better programme provision, enabling our morning programme to better prepare children to return to school. Final improvements to the CYCC: Builders are currently on site converting our middle building, thanks to a generous donation from Wings of Support and the Hans Katoen Estate. Once complete, this centre will provide a modern multimedia room, central community dining and meeting space, medical room, library, playroom, emergency placement centre, new placement dormitory and therapy space. This will leave the need for only the following: • A proper gas oven in the main kitchen (cost R21,000) • We would love to install artificial grass on the soccer field • Conversion of the middle
quad into a high activity space for 5-a-side soccer, outdoor basketball, etc. • Skateboard ramps in the parking area for skateboarding over the weekend (also for community children) • Ongoing improvements to dormitories, including improved individual spaces for the children with desks, lamps, side tables, better lockers, etc. • Project Beanbag: 60 different good-quality beanbags for the children to use in the different relaxation and therapy spaces • Upgrading of the whole centre to make it environmentally friendly with better insulation and heating, and better systems to save electricity and water, as well as eventually a proper biodynamic/ organic vegetable/herb garden, fish farm and chicken run.
Improvements to our prevention and early intervention programmes: Working with chronically ne glected and vulnerable children at risk is fundamental to keeping children away from the street. Our highly successful Valhalla Park and Manenberg programmes are now comfortably settled into their new spaces, but our Site C Drop-In Centre in Khayelitsha, that works with 55 children a day, remains in a terrible and unacceptable state. These are therefore our needs for the year ahead: • New building/container for Site C Drop-In Centre: Site C in Khayelitsha is one of the most overcrowded and poorest shack settlements in Cape Town, extending for many kilometres alongside the N2 highway. For years The Homestead has run a very successful drop-in, outreach and aftercare programme in this community in an old, rusty, leaky and uninsulated community container centre. This resource has now reached the end of its service life and desperately needs to be replaced. In winter we have to sweep water out before we can use it, it is bitterly cold and
it is used as a garbage dumping ground by certain unscrupulous business people over the weekend. Our plan is to get the funds and resources together to completely replace it, to create a centre of excellence as a catalyst for the complete redevelopment of this area. • Outreach worker: This year we are extending our outreach programme to reach those children who remain on the street. We will therefore be allocating one of our vehicles for the use of this programme and require about R13,000 a year for petrol and cellphone costs of about R250 a month. • Catering equipment: Last year we provided thousands of meals to hundreds of chronically deprived children. In Valhalla Park we provided over 8,500 meals between July 2014 and June 2015. That is a lot of chopping of vegetables. We therefore need two food processors at R4,999 each and a new chest freezer at R5,500.
Programme costs that are spent directly on the children in our care: Every year The Homestead spends over R800,000 directly on the children we care for. This amount includes food, clothing, pocket money, toiletries, etc. We also spend another R350,000 on education costs and R150,000 on transporting the children around to school, activities, clinics, etc. That means that each year we need to raise R1.3 million to spend directly on the children. Many who kindly contribute to our programme costs do so through debit orders, or monthly EFT’s into our account so that their contribution is consistent and helps to make The Homestead sustainable. Donations in kind: The Homestead does not just need money. We also need kind people to volunteer their time, expertise and specialised companies to help with the following: • Computer expert services: The Homestead relies on computers for fundraising, financial accountability, monitoring and evaluation, court work, education and recreation for the children, etc. This means we constantly need help with software and
hardware problems, internet issues and training of staff to use computers effectively in their work. We also need help with website development, setting up Salesforce for donor management, etc. • Carpenter services: There are always doors, windows, furniture, jungle gyms, etc. to fix. • Professional painting services: At The Homestead there is always something to paint, and this year we also need to paint our building in Strand Street. • Education and life-skills development experts: Our staff need a lot of assistance and training in the provision of basic education and life-skills development programmes. • Window cleaning services: In Strand Street and in District Six we have second-floor windows that need cleaning. • Volunteers, reading to children, help with morning programme: Volunteers are always needed to help with programmes, and education and recreation with the children. 13
