The children who benefit from the work of the St Francis Outreach Trust can only enjoy these benefits thanks to the support of our generous donors. You can help them out in many ways. Financial donations to the Trust are always welcome, and we require a steady stream of income to fund our projects. Gifts-in-kind from furniture to educational items are also always appreciated. For those who want a more hands-on involvement with the Trust, there are plenty of opportunities to donate time and skills around the foster homes.

Although we receive funding through Government and the Social Welfare department, it is minimal, therefore we continue to actively raise funds through various events and items such as the sale of annual calendars, note cards, birthday calendars.

Who we are

St Francis Outreach Trust was established in 2009. We are a group of five trustees, plus volunteers with a range of professional skills from medical, accounting and finance to construction, business management and educational expertise. His Grace, the retired Archbishop of Cape Town, Njongokulu Ndungane, is our patron.

What we do

“Homes to Grow” provide homes for foster children within a nurturing family atmosphere. Small family units of no more than six children are cared for by a fully trained foster mother who raises them within their own culture and mother tongue.
