More information
Situated in East Lynn Pretoria, we care for 250 children between the ages of 3 - 18 years.
The children are mainly placed in the home by the children's court due to neglect, abandonment, physical or emotional abuse. Jakaranda Children's home caters for a number of different activities, all with a therapeutic undertone. Group activities such as cycling, music, golf and sports play a major therapeutic role. As one of the forerunners in the field of childcare in South Africa, Jakaranda Children's Home runs a number of therapeutic programmes to prepare these children for a better future. These programmes include a number of professional and support services that also reach out to the community. These services now also include a therapeutic centre for children with behavioural problems.
