Annual Report 2016

Director’s message Michelangelo taught that “each block of stone has a statue inside of it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover what that sculpture is”. In a similar way, The Homestead chips away at all the dirt, pain, anger, bad behaviour, illness and developmental delays that define the chronically neglected, deprived, abused, exploited and unwanted street children we work with, until eventually the sculpture within, the beautiful unique child, the healed child, is revealed. The Homestead is not about basic street-level services, or about holding difficult children. The Homestead works with a purpose to heal, develop and educate these children; to put the trauma of their past aside; and to ensure they have an empowered future and that they do not return to the street once they leave our care. This is an incredibly difficult task and to succeed we must face up to a number of realities: that the deep damage these children have suffered, even to the point of mental illness, requires that we provide a very long and specialised road of healing; that failure for these children is more than the tragedy of broken trust, unmet expectations and disappointment – it is the very real fact that if we fail we commit these children to a life on the street or worse. To succeed, our programmes must honestly value the beautiful child within and not be driven by the behaviour and anger that confronts us at the start of their healing process. This means that The Homestead must provide the best therapeutic and developmental opportunities possible, as well as the best programmes, staff, volunteers and professionals, as well as top notch facilities. You simply cannot heal a traumatised child in a broken centre, provide development without the right tools or give a child hope when all they experience is chaos. The Homestead is therefore very happy to report that once again, thanks to our donors and supporters, we have taken a number of major steps towards being able to meet the high standards required to properly reach and heal the children we work with. The required training and professionalism of our Child and Youth Care Centre workers towards formal qualifications by 2018 has finally got the traction it needs to meet that deadline. We are also very happy to report that we were able to add to our Khayelitsha Centre a wonderful new therapeutic and developmental centre, the Hans Katoen Pavilion. Thanks to a very successful fundraiser at the Table Bay Hotel, we were able to rebuild and repurpose our old Woodstock intake shelter, changing it into a modern Transitional Centre that will give our settled boys the attention, support and opportunities they need to successfully transition into the adult world and not return to street life. These developments also meant we were able to move our intake centre, for children coming off the street, away from the old Woodstock shelter and over to our Khayelitsha facility where the children are now far happier

Annual Report 2016

and away from their vulnerability to the street. This represents a fundamental change in the way we work, as the children are now housed in a far larger and more appropriate facility with computers, a library, a soccer field, and a therapeutic environment within a community that welcomes and supports them. The results have astounded us. Children coming off the street now settle much faster, abscond less and love the focused programme and the more appropriate sport, recreation and development opportunities. These changes have enabled us to better focus our morning programme for children not attending school and to increase the number of intake children in our care by 100 percent. In the year to come, this programme will be refined to ensure that we successfully help the growing number of children in Cape Town who need a specialised service for traumatised children, some of whom have behavioural and substance abuse challenges. The Homestead ideal has always been to reach vulnerable, traumatised children before they move out of their communities and onto the street. We are therefore happy to report that thanks to the hard work of Zanele Sokupa and the Prevention and Early Intervention team all our prevention and early intervention programmes in Valhalla Park, Manenberg and Site C Khayelitsha now offer a far more considered and purposeful approach to targeting the most neglected and abused children in street-children communities of origin. The numbers of children in these programmes has increased dramatically and we were able to secure better or extended facilities for our Site C after school programme, and our Valhalla Park and Manenberg programmes. Our Manenberg programme, for instance, after suffering for years in a terrible and dangerous facility, is now safely housed in a very nice church hall away from the shooting. Sadly, Zanele has left our employ to move with her husband to the USA. We wish the Sokupa family all the best. We celebrate and send our sincerest thanks for over three decades of dedicated work to Jakes Jacobs, the most senior child and youth care worker of this department, who retired in July this year. I am sure you will agree that all this news is progress indeed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; progress made possible by your care and support. We are incredibly grateful for each and every contribution you make to The Homestead, which all add up to a programme that directly impacts on the neediest children of Cape Town. Without your support none of what we do would be possible. We remain motivated by the empathy you show for the children in our care, and how so many of you push and nurture us to go the extra mile and who yourselves sacrifice so much to bring joy to a child. Thank you also for patiently continuing to walk with us as we grow the quality of our services, the standard of our care and the number of children we continue to reach. We hope one day soon to be the best in the world â&#x20AC;&#x201C; our children deserve it, you deserve it. We are proud to be artists with you, saving children from the street together. Thank you for making The Homestead possible, for helping us to achieve so much, for giving so many children a chance, a future. Paul Hooper Director

Annual Report 2016

Treasurerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Report The Homestead continues to operate prudently under the directorship of Paul Hooper. In this financial year The Homestead invested heavily in upgrading our residential facilities, specifically the complete strip, redesign and refurbishment of our old Woodstock Centre, as well as completing the renovations to the Child and Youth Care Centre in Khayelitsha to create the Hans Katoen Pavilion, an incredibly useful therapeutic, development and community space for the children of this centre. These improvements were made possible by a very successful fundraising event at the Table Bay Hotel and donors such as Wings of Support, Charles Eijkleboom and many others. The director has once again continued to keep costs under control, saving in administrative expenses but increasing programme expenditure on the children. The operating surplus of R 254,231 on our income statement will be carried forward into the 2017 year for operational costs. Our investments are funds held in reserve as operational costs for one year.

Volunteers We are always grateful for the interns, students and volunteers who give so much of their time to The Homestead. Special thanks this year to Dalia Katz, Royal Cape Yacht Club, Tom Ro Haven, Pearl Nel and family, Charlene Visagie, Yoliswa Titi, Gaqa Nokuthula, Mildred Ntlathi, Nomawethu Nyathela, Nicolene De Klerk, the nine CPUT students, Vicky Hide, Wendy Green, Patric Mckeown, Tarryn-Lee Hartzenberg, Angelique Oliver, Christoffer Bjerg and Sara Melhuus.

Volunteer Profile: Vicky Hide Vicky Hide is one of the longest serving volunteers at The Homestead. She has been with us for 23 years, starting off in the 1990â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at our first drop-in centre in central Cape Town, where it was quite rough and busy in the early days. Vicky proved that valuing street children, sincerely caring for them and building an honest relationship with them motivates many to leave the street and embrace The Homestead opportunity for a better life. Today Vicky continues unabated with her volunteer work in our Valhalla Park and Manenberg drop-in centres, as well as doing an arts and crafts session at our Khayelitsha morning programme once a week, with Wendy Green. Vicky has taken it upon herself to organise an annual Christmas party for The Homestead children; at Easter she always arrives with lots of yummy chocolate treats; and she is a vital part of our events committee, which has helped The Homestead raise a substantial amount of money. Vickyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enthusiasm has infected her family and friends who she has roped in to do so much for The Homestead. Her mom knits teddies and blankets, her dad is always there to support her work, her brother donates wine for fundraisers and her husband, Dr Russel Hide, has been on our management committee and is always there to help our children with medical emergencies. Vicky got generous companies like Irvin & Johnson and the Oceana Group to donate loads of fish to The Homestead. The list of her contributions is endless. Thank you, Vicky, for your very real passion, for always being so organised and prepared, for going the extra mile and for being you.

Annual Report 2016

The Homestead boys say:

I came in to The Homestead in 2012 and was smoking a lot of drugs and a boy at The Homestead see me smoking and he said to me “Stop smoking” and I stop smoking and become friends with him. I say The Homestead is what you make of it and it changed my life.

It wasn’t easy for me because I was facing the real world, but because of these people who looked after me and showed me the right things to do and this is my chance to say thank you, thank you, Homestead for empowering my life.

A lot of things happened in my life, and one of those was a blessing, that is ending up at The Homestead. This was a big change in my life and The Homestead sent me to school. For most of the children I live with at The Homestead, I don’t know why they are here, but I know my reason and that’s why I thank Homestead for helping me.

Annual Report 2016

Table Bay Hotel fundraiser The Homestead is most grateful to our events committee (Sandra Morreira, Annie Van Wyk, Wendy Green, Vicky Hide, Dalia Katz, Tshepo Modise-Harvey, Therin Strouchen and Dagmar Schumacher) who worked tirelessly for months to put together what was an incredibly successful and glamorous â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Whimsical Spring Luncheonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fundraiser at the Table Bay Hotel in September. This event raised R680,000 for the rebuilding of our Woodstock Centre. Our thanks and gratitude to the entertaining and persuasive Master of Ceremonies Ashley Hayden, Freshly Ground for their rhythm and music, Joey Burke from Liquidity Services for auctioning off all the incredible generous items donated for the event, those who bought tickets and those who dug deep to snap up auction items. A big thank you those who provided the wine, flowers, other bits and bobs, services and everything else it takes to make an A-list event successful, as well as to our long term benefactor, the Table Bay Hotel, which so kindly hosted the event and served such delicious food. Together you all proved that anything is possible and have created a special healing space that will benefit hundreds of children for many years to come. Thank you.

Annual Report 2016

Hans Katoen Pavilion The tragic death of Hans Katoen, a lifelong friend and supporter of The Homestead, left us all devastated, as Hans was a dear friend, a regular visitor to The Homestead on his trips to South Africa and a generous donor. He also volunteered to engage with the boys and helped them to experience normal life, for instance sitting down to a meal at a cafĂŠ, and Hans was a respected member of Wings of Support. We are very pleased and grateful therefore to celebrate his life and mark his contribution to The Homestead by creating a legacy in his name, thanks to the Hans Katoen Estate and Wings of Support. Together they donated the money to convert our middle cottage into the most wonderful therapeutic and development space for the boys of our Child and Youth Care Centre in Khayelitsha. The Hans Katoen Pavilion was formally opened by his brother at our AGM last year. This pavilion provides the boys of this centre with a computer and multimedia lab and study area, a community dining room and recreation space, an occupational therapy room and an arts and crafts room, as well as an emergency placement dormitory and sickbay. This space has double doors that open up directly onto our soccer field, creating a great community environment and providing a healing environment for the children he so keenly cared for. Thank you Hans, your contribution has taken our care of street children to a whole new level.

Annual Report 2016

Toilet for the homeless After years of stink and mess around our District Six centre, because there was no public toilet in the area, we at The Homestead took it upon ourselves to pay R600 a month to hire a portable toilet to bring dignity and hygiene to the area and to create a better environment for everyone. The condition was, we told the adult homeless people in the area, that they look after it and keep it clean â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if they abuse it they will lose it. The result is fantastic. No more mess, no more stink and an end to our years of suffering. This proves that to help the homeless and marginalised you need to provide dignity and respect and acknowledge their part in the community. As part of our community, they need services.

Annual Report 2016

Needs list The Homestead needs you to help us for the year ahead. Equipment and capital costs: The organisation needs the following equipment and capital items this year: • 16 seater microbus to take children to school at R300,000 • Two trampolines at R10,000 each • 10 tables with benches at R5,000 each for the dining hall • New computer lab/study area/reading room for our Transitional Centre • Tiling for our dining hall • Cupboards, shelves, toy storage, security, etc. for our occupational therapy room. Maintenance and upgrades: We are very grateful to the donors that have helped us upgrade and improve our facilities over the years. This year we are looking for assistance with the following maintenance and facility upgrades, which could take the form of financial aid or community work from company teams: • Developing our beautiful garden and soccer field in Khayelitsha • Painting dormitories and activity rooms with white PVA paint twice a year • Finishing off the individual study rooms with computers, desks, chairs, carpets, lights, etc. • Making a toy storeroom • Continuing to build and maintain our CYCC library and computer laboratory • Vegetable seedlings and seeds for our vegetable garden in Khayelitsha • Indigenous plants and trees for our Khayelitsha garden Professional services: To keep our administration costs down we need donations of time and expertise, or the funds to buy the following skills: • Excel skills to develop our monitoring and evaluation systems • Salesforce expertise to develop and manage our donor base • Admininstration skills to load information, summarise information and assist with structuring data • Medical: We need doctors, dentists and other health care specialists to donate their skills and time to advise on the health care of our children, to assist with emergency and difficult cases that are not effectively dealt with by the state, or to refer to state services. • Education specialist: We need an education specialist to help us design and develop our bridging programme for children not yet ready or able to return to school. We envisage that this will cost R200,000 before we get to a

Annual Report 2016

stage where the programme can be submitted to the education department for formal registration. • Work readiness: We need companies to help provide work experience opportunities to the youth in our Transitional Programme in Woodstock. This could take the form of job shadowing during the school holidays, an internship or part time employment over weekends or school holidays. Other: • School attendance support: The Homestead has 90 boys in residential care and supports over 300 chronically neglected boys and girls in street-child communities of origin. We need the following financial support or good second-hand items for girls and boys aged 6 to 18 years: school fees, uniforms, shoes, school bags, lunch boxes, school stationery and books. We also need second-hand grey school pants, white school shirts, school shoes and grey school jerseys, in good condition. • Clothing and toiletries: We need donations of good second-hand casual boys and girls clothes, running shoes, jackets, jerseys and caps for 6 to 18 year-olds. We also need financial support to purchase clothes, new underwear and socks. We regularly need toiletries such as soap, deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrushes, face cloths, toilet paper and feminine hygiene products (for the adolescent girls in our programmes). • Dry groceries: Providing food across our projects is one of our biggest cost drivers. We are therefore very grateful to those companies and individuals who continue to support us with dry groceries. We need donations of Amasi (two litres), baked beans, beans (dry), beef stock, Bisto, black pepper, masala, BBQ spice, chicken spice, cinnamon sticks, cocoa powder, coffee (Ricoffy), Oros, custard powder, sunflower oil, Imana, jam, jelly, lentils, macaroni, mayonnaise, mealie meal, long-life milk, oats, peanut butter (without sunflower oil), rice, salt, samp, spaghetti, sugar, tea, tomato paste, vinegar, white bread flour, tinned tomato and onion, tomato sauce, chutney and yeast. • Points reward system: The points reward system is very effective in motivating and stabilising children. The children earn points for attending school, being home on time, doing their homework and chores, changing bad behaviour and contributing to the community. Children work hard to earn their points which can be exchanged for a reward, for instance a special treat or outing. For this we need donations of old cell phones, tablets and laptops in working order; clothing vouchers for stores such as Ackermans, Pep and Pick ‘n Pay; treats such as sweets, toys, music CD’s, childrens’ books and nice backpacks; or even vouchers for outings to a fastfood restaurant, a trip up the mountain or a movie night. Ideas are also welcome. • Sport and recreation: The boys at our Transitional Centre are at an age where they have individual sporting interests. Some boys love bodybuilding while others love sailing, boxing, hiking, soccer and skateboarding, etc. Each sport has different club, gym and coaching fees; and equipment needs such as soccer balls, skateboards bicycles, soccer boots and hiking boots. We also need board games, cards, chess, dominoes and drawing equipment, as well as musical instruments such as guitars for internal recreation activities.
