Our Location
Leliebloem House was founded as a House of Mercy by Bishop Gray in 1868. Archdeacon Lightfoot, gave a sum of money for the purpose of establishing a refuge for fallen women in Plein Street Cape Town. In 1886, House of Mercy was resettled on a site on the Leliebloem House Estate (where the present day Holiday Inn is), made possible by through the generosity of the Society of St John the Evangelist.
Today it is a registered NGO, (NPO Number: 003 227) that operates as a Residential Children’s Home for 60 children, aged 4 years to 18 years old. These children are from troubled families and backgrounds and with no consideration of race, colour or creed. The organization offers the least restrictive environment for children who are placed via the children’s courts.
Even though the Residential Care is the core business of Leliebloem House, we work intensively within these children’s communities and families to improve the circumstances from which they were removed. Leliebloem House has numerous programs that are well implemented and are looked to as “best practice models”.
We strive to share our experiences from piloting to the running of these programs with colleagues in the child and youth care field. This is done by not only being available to them for knowledge sharing through site visits and telephonic support, but also by offering training and information sessions.
Our Objectives are: to provide each child access to appropriate developmental care; to empower, support and facfilitate capacity building within families and community; and to impart knowledge and skills to families to achieve their goals.
