OUR HOMES

LITTLE EDEN has two residential homes, providing 24-hour care for children and adults with profound intellectual disability – Domitilla and Danny Hyams Home in Edenglen, suitable for younger and more severely disabled children, and Elvira Rota Village, a farm in Bapsfontein ideally suited to those who are more mobile, older or higher functioning.

MEET THE CHILDREN

Sindi has severe intellectual disability caused by birth complication. She was admitted to LITTLE EDEN when she was 7 years old as her mother, who works full time, is unable to provide the care she needs.

Although she cannot speak, Sindi understands much of what is said to her and she is eager to learn. She has a lovely, gentle nature, and is always smiling.

LITTLE EDEN caters for people with profound intellectual disability – those who are classified as uneducable – of all races and creeds. Priority is given to those who have been abandoned or abused, or who come from severely disadvantaged backgrounds. Once accepted into the LITTLE EDEN family, they remain with us for life.
