Sandra Morreira, The Homestead Director since 2004, retired in April 2013 to spend time with her grandchild. She made a profound and noticeable impact on The Homestead, the lives of street children, and the way we work with vulnerable children.
W
hen Sandra joined The Homestead there were nearly a thousand children living on the streets of Cape Town. Today, only a handful of children remain on the street, as each child is part of a programme to unlock them from street life. Back when Sandra started at The Homestead the media was full of negative stories about street children, business was demanding that something be done about aggressive begging impacting badly on tourism, legislation had not been introduced to protect children living, working and begging on the street, and there were many gaps in service provision through which vulnerable children fell.
Thanks to Sandra
In those days our response to street children was about crisis management; proactive prevention and community-based services were in their infancy. The Homestead had not yet built its own second stage children’s home, and members of the street child sector often worked at odds with each other, government and other stakeholders. Sandra was key in changing all this. Sandra’s focus on solving these problems means that today The Homestead successfully prevents vulnerable children from going onto the street and that we can and do consistently turn hundreds of children around from the street. Our statistics show that we return 37% of children who come into our care directly back home with ongoing support to keep them there. In addition, all children in our care now participate in an education programme from the second week they enter our care. Key drivers for Sandra were to ensure that we break the cycle of children returning to the street and reduce the negative impact that residential care institutions often have on children.
2
It was Sandra’s determination that caused The Homestead to build a wonderful new child friendly home in Khayelitsha as well as to open our projects up to independent living and job creation programmes. Sandra’s contribution includes her role as the Chairman of the Western Cape Street Children’s Forum and later as Chairman of the National Alliance for Street Children, which endeavour to create a sector that works together in the best interests of the child, as well as in partnership with a number of other stakeholders and sectors. However, it is Sandra’s compassionate professionalism that gave The Homestead her biggest legacy, namely an extensive and a loyal support base, sound partnerships, motivated staff and an organisation internationally recognised as being at the forefront of street child interventions. Thank you Sandra, God bless you, and your family.
This is my first annual report for The Homestead. This is quite a challenge after just a few months in the hot seat, but it is a useful exercise in that it gives me the chance to set out all the brilliant work The Homestead does.
I
ndeed, this was a watershed year for The Homestead, a year of celebrating new birth and the opening of our dream facility in Khayelitsha, but also a sad year as we wished adieu to both Sonja Basson (the children’s home manager) and Sandra Morreira, our director of many years. We will miss you both.
Message from the new Homestead Director – Paul Hooper
Returning to The Homestead, where I worked in the mid1990s, was like returning home, full of warm welcoming faces, many new fresh and exciting additions, and the joy of an organisation that has grown, matured and flourished over the years. It is a daunting task to direct The Homestead, an organisation requiring huge resources and a substantial body of staff to run effectively, but also an organisation with a child-centred ethos, a 30-year legacy and a local and international reputation to protect. Most importantly, it is an organisation that has hundreds of children to look after. “The magic,” I was told by Sandra during my first few days on the job, “is that The Homestead just happens.” I did not understand her at first – I kept looking for that one big supporter, that one big thing that made this huge task possible. I quickly realised though that none of what we do is possible without literally hundreds of sometimes small and sometimes larger contributions that add up to one giant impact. This is the village, the community that is The Homestead, the people and businesses that care, who together turn so many children’s lives around, and to whom The Homestead is accountable and most grateful.
Treasurer’s Report – Zaitoon Abed
T
he Homestead has experienced a challenging year regarding fundraising. Globally, donors have reduced their funding to non-governmental organisations. Despite these adverse conditions, many generous donors, large and small, made it possible for us to complete the new child and youth care centre in Khayelitsha. Our operational expenses have increased in the new centre, but we see this as positive growth in the development of The Homestead. Although we reflect a surplus in our financial statements, the funds are earmarked for final payments for construction of the Hilary House Child and Youth Care Centre. In terms of operational costs, we reflect a loss in our consolidated income statement. There has been a change in The Homestead directorship, and we feel confident that the new director, who has now brought the fundraising back inhouse, will endeavour to raise the much needed funds for the organisation. We go forward with hope and anticipation that the year ending 2014 will see us in a sound and healthy financial position. 3
Ubunye Beadworks
The Homestead – Job Creation Project
T
he Homestead Job Creation Project creates work and work experience for the mothers of the children in our programmes, as well as for the boys in our care. It aims to economically empower mothers so that their children are able to return home. It also aims to give some of the youths in our care an economic option for when they leave The Homestead. While we have plans for a bakery, fish farm and much more, the job creation project currently revolves around our Ubunye Beadworks project based in Strand Street.

With a relatively small budget, this project worked last year with 35 mothers, making a direct impact on their 75 children, as well as on about five young men from our children’s home. This is an astounding result. On top of this, the project sold R305 000 worth of goods last year, placing R170 000 directly into these beneficiaries’ pockets.
Other benefits of the project are:
We placed nine women, many of whom were down and out, in permanent employment
We have helped mothers set up their own homes in wooden wendy houses
We have supplied food and clothing to their families in order to reduce poverty
We have given parental training and advice
We helped to build self-confidence
We developed financial skills
We gave participants shop assistant and marketing experience as well as experience with catering for functions.
Beneficiaries of this project are referred in by other Homestead projects; for instance, 31% were referred in from our Khayelitsha Drop-in Centre, 51% from our Manenberg Drop-in Centre and 17% from our residential care centre at Hilary House in Khayelitsha.

Early Intervention and Drop-In Centres
After School Care Programme results in 100% pass rate
O
ur Early Intervention and Prevention Programme runs an after school care programme at Isikhokelo Primary School in Site C Khayelitsha. The purpose is to provide 40 children – boys and girls aged between nine and 14 who have been identified by their teachers as vulnerable, with behavioural difficulties – a comprehensive psychosocial support programme so they settle at school, remain at home and stay off the street. The children in this programme suffer from systemic neglect and abuse and present troubled behaviours such as anxiety, fear, withdrawal, low self-esteem, verbal and physical aggression, learning disabilities, short attention span, truanting and even posttraumatic stress disorder. The programme’s impact is evident in that of the 108 children who benefited over the last two years, not a single child failed a grade. That is a 100% pass rate. Teachers tell us that after attending our programme, the children behave and perform better than they did before our interventions. Four children have been awarded a best learner/achiever certificate by 6
their school. Parents express their gratitude regarding the behaviour changes they see in their children. Vicky Hide, a Homestead supporter and volunteer for many years, who continuously offers Christmas and winter parties for the children in our programmes, commented that she has never seen school children who behave so well. The key point is that not only do we help these wonderful children do better at school, but we have reduced their vulnerability, supported them to stay in school and kept them from drifting towards the streets. After school care is a simple intervention with a significant preventive result.

Early Intervention and Drop-In Centres
“I could not watch children running up and down and up and down on the street at the time they should be attending such a significant programme. So I took them in with their facilitator.”
Granny rescues children Grandmother Manuel with children from the Drop-In Centre
T
he Homestead’s Manenberg Drop-In Centre works with 140 boys and girls between the ages of eight and 16 years of age each year. The purpose of this centre is to keep vulnerable children in school, with their families, and away from gangsterism and drugs. Manenberg is a densely populated low-income housing estate that unfortunately experiences regular gang-related shootings. The Homestead needs to provide a safe, consistent and therapeutic space to help Manenberg children deal with their violent reality and the regular loss of family, friends and community members who are too often caught in gang crossfire. Disaster struck in December last year when we unexpectedly lost our rented venue at the Silvertree Community Centre and were unable to find an alternative space. Grandmother Galima Manuel (68) stepped forward and offered us her garage, saying: “I could not watch children running up and down and up and down on the street at the time they should be attending such a significant programme. So I took them 8
in, with their facilitator. I must admit that I had a good time myself with those little people, watching them playing and engaging in a programme." We are very grateful to Grandmother Manuel and her family for opening their home to us and the children, and proving that the Manenberg community is, in reality, a rich, vibrant, talented, wonderful and caring community.

We asked 55 children who attend our Site C Drop-In Centre in Khayelitsha why they like to attend this programme. It seems the results are just what one would expect from any other child – they love:
playing soccer
learning how to deal with what is a rather confusing world to young people
being nourished with good food
spending time with their friends
Like all children, they are not that partial to cleaning and washing dishes at the centre!

Homestead Intake Child and Youth Care Centre
Helping children is not a straight line from A to B …
It is always the children who suffer the most …
nfortunately, no matter how we would love it, there is no simple method for helping vulnerable children. We cannot simply go through a step-by-step menu, doing one thing after the next until we have done all we need to do to turn a child’s life around. In reality, it is most often a case of back and forth – two steps forwards, one step back – whilst considering a million diverging issues at the same time. Beka’s story illustrates the process.
e often underestimate the damage and trauma that children experience and how it impacts on their mental health. Most of the children The Homestead works with have been traumatised to some degree, through abuse, exploitation, neglect or even war. The Homestead currently has two brothers and their first cousin who fled the war between the Democratic Republic of the Congo government and the M23 rebels in Goma. They have travelled nearly 6 000 km to Cape Town. All three boys suffer from post-traumatic shock, having witnessed the horrors of civil war, and are distraught as they do not know where their relatives are, or even if they are still alive.
U
Beka admitted himself to The Homestead Intake Shelter from the street half way through 2011 as a young 13-year-old who had run away from home due to violent physical abuse from his adult brother and father. Beka’s father was a drug addict and his mother drank alcohol excessively. Beka battled to settle down at The Homestead, drifting in and out, going back to the street at least four times and then returning. This is a common pattern in our work. The shelter always welcomed Beka back, while our social and child care workers persisted with therapeutic counselling, and especially with family reunification services, knowing that the secret to helping him was to sort his family situation out. Eventually, after a lot of hard work, we managed to get his parents to go to marital counselling and his father to go for drug rehabilitation treatment. His adult brother agreed to move out of the family home and his mother reduced her drinking. Obviously, for Beka, such radical change was not easily trusted, but after a time he finally retured home. Our monthly follow-up visits to support Beka and his family find that he is progressing well, his family is more stable, he has resumed his neglected schooling and seems to have finally left street life behind.

Family is the key …
W
P
Living at The Homestead, these boys find stability in the routine and structure that we provide. They are surrounded by a compassionate, caring team who supports them in maintaining their Muslim faith (all boys are encouraged to practice their own culture and religion). They are starting to heal emotionally and are thriving at school. Soon they will be transferred to our longer term residential care and development facility in Khayelitsha. We hope to help these boys put the horrors of war behind them and will continue to try and help them to find, and hopefully be reunited with, their families.
This failure to stay with his father hit Peter hard, and it took many months of reaching out to him on the street to persuade him to return to our care, sadly now as a drug addict. Thankfully, he responded well to therapeutic counselling and we organised inpatient drug rehabilitation for him. His father and the social worker supported him through this difficult time, he successfully completed rehab and returned to The Homestead residential programme.
eter drifted into street life from an environment of extreme poverty where he had to come into Cape Town each day to beg for food to support his tik-addicted mother who lived in a shack made from dustbin bags.
He quickly settled down at the shelter and we eventually managed to locate his father, who we found to be stable and most concerned about his son. Peter’s father was glad to be in touch with us and offered his son plenty of moral support in settling down. Unfortunately, our first attempt to place Peter with his father failed because Peter reacted badly to his stepmother, became aggressive and volatile towards her, and eventually returned to the streets.
Peter is now attending a skills training and education programme and we continue to help him to work through his issues and to improve his relationship with his stepmother. He currently enjoys weekend and holiday visits with his father and stepmother and even phones his stepmother regularly. Because he is nearly 18, Peter needs to complete an exit and independent living programme, so that as a young man he can return home to his father and stepmother who are now happy to have him live with them because he is free of drugs. He has developed a real relationship with his stepmother.
Intake Shelter – Statistics The Homestead Intake Shelter admitted 94 children off the street during 2012-2013. Of these:
18% remained at the Intake Shelter
37% were reunited with their families along with ongoing family preservation and school support (80% successfully remained at home, i.e. longer than 6 months)
27% were moved on to alternative care (such as our second stage children’s home) 9% remain unstable, moving back and forth between shelter and street
9% are no longer part of the Homestead programme. 11
T
he Homestead has, for many years, dreamt of having its own second stage residential care facility for those children in of need long-term residential healing and development. This dream became a reality with the official opening of The Homestead’s multipurpose centre in Khayelitsha, Hilary House, on 6 February 2013, close to many of the families of the children we care for. The Homestead multipurpose centre offers three different and interlinked programmes to protect vulnerable children from the street, including: 1. A residential Child and Youth Care Centre for 75 children. 2. An Early Intervention and Prevention Centre out of which our drop in centres, after school programmes, family preservation services, child development programmes and street outreach programmes run. 3. Community development facilities with a hall, a soccer field, therapy rooms and training facilities to reach out to and bring the local community in as a central tenet of our response to children living, working and begging on the street. Making this dream a reality was a long hard seven-year mission – from the purchasing of the land in 2005, through the ground-breaking ceremony in May 2010 and ending with the completion of most of the building in October 2012 when the children moved in to their new bright, light, modern and child friendly facility. This dream come true was made possible by many donors and by members of the local community who walked the long road with us. Our thanks to those unsung heroes whose dedicated and successful efforts enabled the community to embrace and make a home for The Homestead boys as part of their community: • Ben Nduna and Siviwe Mhlomi, Chairman and Vice Chairman of D section SANCO • Members of Khayelitsha SANCO • Councillor Mavis Mfoko • Rose Sonto of National SANCO • Khayelitsha Development Forum.

Hilary House Child and Youth Care Centre A Measure of Success...
A
t The Homestead Child and Youth Care Centre in Khayelitsha, we measure success not against time or one-off achievements, but in terms of the courage it takes to get to that point. What do five drug-free months represent, not only alongside drug addiction as a lifelong struggle, but against the fact that the boy concerned overcame both emotional and physical neglect; survived living on the street from the age of nine where he developed a serious drug addiction; dragged himself into The Homestead and settled down; and still managed five months of drug-free reality, after using drugs for seven years. This is a huge achievement for one so young, a very brave thing indeed, and most importantly a measure to the boy that he can succeed and build upon that success. We therefore celebrate success as the courage of a 13-year-old boy currently in his fifth week of rehab after five years of drug addiction on the street; the bravery of the boys who initially resisted education programmes but are now attending our home school programme without complaint; the boys who are now in Grade 10 after overcoming huge obstacles; the boy who persistently sticks at swimming and has now been nominated to go on a regional youth swimming camp; and the 11-year-old who absconded from school last year but turned to his teacher the other day to ask for extra lessons to improve his reading. It is these boys we celebrate, those who dig deep, who resist the bad influences pulling them back towards the street. Success is those who fight and escape drugs, who decide not to sleep on the street, who stay at our centre and who have the courage and trust to begin to build their futures and to embrace reality and all it has to offer.

Education is a right, thanks to The Homestead Sponsorship Fund
W
e all know that education is a right that many children in South Africa simply do not enjoy. The Homestead has the added difficulty, when trying to educate the children in our care, that most have learning disabilities, behavioural problems, social cohesion issues, or are just too old for their grades. They do not fit into an overcrowded one-size-fits-all South African education system that does not offer remedial classes. Thankfully, The Homestead Sponsorship Fund, initiated by Amori Borman in 2007, raises money especially to pay for our boys to be appropriately educated in specialised schools, or to attend normal government schools with specialised support. The Homestead Sponsorship Fund held a fundraising event in December 2012 at which award-winning chefs Luke DaleRoberts of Test Kitchen and Giorgio Nava of 95 Keerom joined forces with Johans Borman Fine Art and raised over R1.4 million from a spectacular sit-down dinner for 100 patrons at the beautiful Old Land Bank Building venue in Victoria Street. Johans Borman Fine Art and specialist charity auctioneer Iain Banner conducted the annual art auction and celebrity presenter Ashley Hayden, a passionate Homestead supporter, was the master of ceremonies for the evening. Orlando Bloom and Forest Whittaker attended the event, adding to the excitement. Each of the 100 guests received a plate with an original drawing done by one of The Homestead boys. This all added up to a very special evening and raised a substantial amount of money for a very worthy cause. Our sincerest gratitude goes to Amori and Johans Borman for making the event possible, and especially for making it possible for The Homestead to be able to offer all the boys in our care the specialised education they need in order to break the destructive cycles that hold them back from bright and educated futures.

Madiba, street children and The Homestead
I am sure that Mr Mandela would love to see those same young men six years later, to see how they have grown and how he changed their world for the better.
Madiba
I
t is a little-known fact that Nelson Mandela started the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund because of his concern for the street children he saw begging outside Parliament in Cape Town.
We will never forget how in 2006, only a few years after the ANC came into power, we received a request from former President Mandela to meet with some of The Homestead boys – all former street children who had turned their lives around – who were about to fly to England for a two week football tour. This amazing tour was organised by Michelle Potter, Gerald Jacobs and Harrodian School. Madiba wanted to wish them well and to acknowledge their positive efforts. Heather Dugmore reported in the Sunday Independent (27 August 2006) that President Nelson Mandela greeted the boys with his trademark “How are you?” and spent some time telling stories about how he knew Cape Town because he had stayed on Robben Island for 24 years. Ever the most sincere and empathetic statesman, Madiba thanked the boys 16
for travelling all the way to Houghton to visit him by saying, “I am grateful to you for coming here and changing my world.” I am sure that Mr Mandela would love to see those same young men six years later, to see how they have grown and how he changed their world for the better. Madiba’s simple example of humanity and humility had a marked impact on all of us and is an ongoing example to The Homestead boys, one whom said to Madiba, “My life was upside down when I was on the streets.” That same boy is now a grown man and a child care worker, helping other boys who are in the same situation he was in a few years ago.
