Welcome to Siyabonga Children’s Home
Our Family

In 1988, Founding Members – Pastor Manny and Lorraine Ribeiro started their journey as foster parents, over the years 285 children have been placed in their care.

Child Welfare approached them to establish a Childrens Home to take in more children in need.
In 2003, we did not have enough room in a small four-bedroom house.
.

In 2012, we started with development on the premises, with proper accommodation consisting of 20 rooms,  classrooms, offices, garage, etc. in order to accommodate over 46 children and 12 staff members.

Within 18 months, the family of 25, could move to Phase 1.

At the end of December 2015, the second phase was opened and occupied
In 2016 we developed the Nest,15 rooms to take  care about  our young adults that finish with matric.  This accommodation was specifically developed for them as they embark into the adult world through employment or studying at colleges and universities.

Children age 3 to 18 in our care and our young adults at the NEST.
