The Jones Safe House, near Kommetjie in Cape Town, South Africa is a registered non-profit charity organisation that takes on abused, abandoned and neglected children, most of the time from drug addicted parents.

The founders, Donavan and Bernadette Jones, together with their family, provide a stable, loving home where healing can begin and these at-risk children can grow and flourish, and, if at all possible, be safely integrated into their families and society.

It takes a lot of funds to keep The Jones Safe House on its feet. Every month is a struggle to cover the running costs of food, education and other necessities. As the new year starts, we are struggling, particularly with the cost of school fees, uniforms and books for our children, who deserve a decent education. The current compliment of ever growing children and young adults is 14

Total running costs per month is in excess of R60,000 (£2,500).

We welcome donations of food, money or contributions to our school fees.
