LITTLE EDEN has two residential homes where children and adults with profound intellectual disability enjoy a loving, permanent home for the rest of their lives.
The original Home in Edenvale accommodates 180 children, grouped together in seven different wings according to age and level of ability. The Home has a fully equipped therapy centre, which includes two jacuzzis where children benefit from water therapy, as well as kitchen, laundry and admin offices.
Elvira Rota Village, our second home, is a 43ha farm at Bapsfontein purchased with the intention of providing a more suitable long-term environment for the children as they grew to adulthood. However, several of the younger, more mobile children are better suited to life on the farm. The decision as to where an individual will be placed is made on the basis of what is best for him or her.
Both homes have chapels to ensure the spiritual aspect of the residents' lives is not neglected.
We also run two second hand shops which raise much needed funds to help care for our large family, as well as helping our less privileged neighbours buy household goods, clothing and furniture at affordable prices.
