Ruby Havens

What We Do

Ruby Havens meets the needs of marginalized children through providing loving homes and safe havens. The need for safe places for children in peril is great. We also believe that families should remain intact, where possible.

Substance abuse, the breakdown of family structures, teenage and unwanted pregnancies and the inequality in the South African economy often cause parents to be unable or unwilling to take care of their children.

Every child deserves to be safe, protected and loved. Unfortunately, many children in South Africa are abandoned and left without a stable home environment. 

Our  Vision

Our vision for children in this community does not just stop at the establishment of orphan homes.

We believe that the Bible is clear that God expects us to take care of the poor, needy, widows and the strangers in our land. (Isaiah 58.)

Our vision is to see other families fostering and adopting the abandoned of South Africa. Also to provide support to those families through support groups and educational classes.

Our vision is to see programs put in place to help children to stay in their families through parenting and support type programs. Helping families stay in tact prior to governmental interventions is our goal.

Our Mission

Ruby Havens is established to care for special needs children in the foster care system, to give support to the community and families by strengthening and advocating for foster care and adoption through education and support groups.
