This is a haven for disadvantaged girls between the ages of 5 and 18 years. These girls have faced all manner of challenge…some are orphaned, abandoned…or victimised…some of these girls are from unsuitable home environments where the parents or guardians are either addicted to alcohol or drugs or are engaged in criminal activities or are unable to provide for their children due to extreme poverty. In all cases these girls are extremely traumatised and need special care and attention.

Children are referred to us by the Department of Probation and Child Care and the Juvenile Courts. Currently the home cares for 75 girls.

At the Home, in tandem with nurturing and nourishment, we see to it that the girls attend school up to the General Certificate of Education Advanced Level, enrolling them at a Government run school in the vicinity of the Home – St. Clare’s Girls School.

Within the Home these girls experience security and stability, perhaps for the first time in their lives. They enjoy nutritious meals and are provided with clothes and medical attention too. Their school curriculum is supplemented with extra help in subjects such as Spoken English, Computing and Vocational Skills such as Sewing, Cookery, Hand Work and Horticulture as well as in aesthetic pursuits such as Art, Music, Dancing and Singing.
