About William Clark Gardens Othandweni Child and Youth Care Centre

The centre caters for the needs of 72 children. These children are placed in care for various reasons, such as abuse, neglect and abandonment.

Our aim is to provide children at risk with an environment that is stimulating and motivating in order that they are equipped with the necessary skills to become independent and positive leaders in the future. We strive to provide a safe and nurturing environment in which children can grow and develop positively. Our interaction with the children includes offering therapeutic services to them and using a holistic approach in meeting all their needs.
We regard empowerment as the key to social and emotional well-being and development of children. This will enable them to have a sense of ownership and pride in whatever they set out to do.

There are 6 cottages at William Clark Gardens/ Othandweni Children’s Home. Each cottage consists of 12 young people ranging from 6 years to 17 years of age.
