Greensleeves Place of Safety for Children

Greensleeves Place of Safety operates within a structured framework designed to protect and stabilise children in crisis. The facility combines residential care with educational programming, addressing both immediate safety needs and ongoing development. Staff manage daily routines—meals, schooling, healthcare, counselling—while navigating the realities of child protection work in the Eastern Cape. Children arrive from varied circumstances and leave at different stages of recovery or transition. The model integrates care and learning because neither works in isolation; safety allows education to happen, and structure provides the foundation for healing.
