on

The Morning Cruise

 

Originally developed by the Isiqalo Foundation,

Waves for Change is a pioneering HIV education and youth leadership programme rooted in surfing.

 

Based in Ocean-side informal settlements where HIV prevalence exceeds 25% and youth unemployment tops 60%.

 

Waves for Change creates local solutions to national problems by using surfing as a tool to open youth-lead forums for sexual health and locally-ru...n leadership programmes for at-risk young adults.

 

 

Based around its unique educational curriculum and training programmes, Waves for Change invests in the training and upskilling of local coaches to effect change in their home communities and transforms previously disused beaches into hubs for health education and vocational skills training.

In Studio Today: St George's Home for Girls

St George's Home for Girls

 Graeme Cairns joins the Morning Cruise to discuss St George's 150th anniversary in August!

St Georges Home is registered to accommodate 40 girls. The girls are divided into 4 families of ten. Each family has a qualified childcare worker (house mother). We also have one relief childcare worker. The overall care is provided for by a social worker

One of our main focuses is to re-integrate the children with their families as soon as possible. By providing specialised care and education and teaching life skills to the girls within a secure environment, caregivers empower them with the necessary skills and knowledge to become confident individuals. The girls are fully integrated into the local community. They attend schools in the surrounding areas, worship at a church of their choice and are actively involved in extra-mural activities.

The Mission

To provide a quality home

To create a nurturing environment that will cater for the emotional, spiritual, physical, social and educational needs of the girls

To provide social services and quality programmes with a view of possible reunification with the family.

The Vision

To be a safe and loving home for girls in need of care
