It was the vision of one woman that led to the establishment of the ?rst children’s home in South Africa. This woman, a widow, saw the need of orphaned children for a refuge of their own and convinced the governor at the Cape, the Second Earl of Caledon, to give her permission to build a home for orphans. This act of faith two hundred years ago started a tradition of ordinary people showing they care for the children of our nation.

Dit is vanjaar 200 jaar gelede dat ‘n weduwee van Kaapstad haar plan om ‘n huis op te rig vir die versorging van weeskinders aan die destydse goewerneur aan die Kaap, die Tweede Graaf van Caledon, voorgelê het. Hierdie geloofsdaad het tot die eerste kinderhuis in Suid-Afrika gelei en het deur die eeue ontwikkel in ‘n baken van hoop vir kinders wat liefdevolle versorging nodig het.
