Two Villages, One Heart

June 11, 2025

Every child deserves a place to belong, to grow, and to dream boldly for their future. At our two unique Children’s Villages, this dream becomes a daily reality.

“Building Brighter Futures is more than just a strapline—it’s the shared heartbeat of two unique Children’s Villages that operate as one family.

Lily of the Valley Children’s Village, backing onto the Tala Game Reserve near Hammarsdale, is home to 85 children. Not too far away, iKhethelo Children’s Village sits peacefully in the KwaNyuswa Valley, just below the Rob Roy Retirement Village, and provides care for 45 children.

Though distinct in location, both Villages are united under one Board of Directors and a shared CEO team, driven by a deep passion to see every child grow into their God-given destiny.

Children live in warm, family-style cottages, of between 6 to 8 children and a dedicated caregiver. Together, they share meals, do chores, and enjoy life as any loving family would—building strong bonds and creating joyful memories.

Education is a cornerstone of our mission.
We are deeply committed to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to attend a well-run, well-resourced school that meets their individual needs.

” Education is the most powerful weapon that you can use to change the world.’ – Nelson Mandela

New land purchased in Merrivale, Howick. Help us build a new village!

Currently, Lily of the Valley’s remote location limits access to the quality of education we believe every child deserves. That’s why we are planning to relocate the village to Merrivale in the future—where a broader range of educational opportunities is available.

We believe this move will open doors to better schools—and to the
brighter futures our children were made for.
As we take this next step, we invite you to journey with us—because building brighter futures is something we can only do together. Learn More>
