THABANG CHILDREN'S PROJECT
Child & Youth Care and Drop-in-Centre
Thabazimbi Limpopo, South Africa
General Info
The THABANG Children’s Home Trust was founded in August 2004. The project’s first phase consisted of pioneering footwork in the informal settlement of Smash Block. Thanks to the initiative of THABANG a local day clinic was established which works closely with the THABANG Drop-In-Centre Centre until today.
In 2005 the Juvenile Centre (later: Youth Centre) was opened outside Thabazimbi at Klipgat. The Youth Centre caters for boys from dysfunctional domestic situations.
Subsequently the THABANG Children’s Place of Safety for girls was put into function on the farm Roodedam.
In 2007 the provincial government of Limpopo officially registered THABANG’s two Places of Safety as “Child and Youth Care Centres” according to section 200 of the Children’s Act 38 of 2005. The registration has been renewed in 2017 until 2022.
The physical address is: Klipgat Farm, 348 KQ: Thabazimbi, South Africa.
