CEO of GBTSA, Lee Loynes, said a fire broke out the Verulam Family Home for Girls, north of Durban on Friday.
The Verulam GBTSA Family Home is a regular house in the community with a trained caring and professional team who serve as family teachers.
The Family Home model is unique in its focus on family-style, care-for-others ethos, with emphasis on personal development, social skills teaching and meaningful self-governance by youth. GBTSA ensures youth in its care attend nearby community schools and provides learning support as part of a holistic child-centred nurture and care approach. GBTSA hopes to repair the damaged house within eight weeks so that the girls can return to the semblance of normal family life that they had become accustomed to."We are deeply grateful to the public who are always there for us and our children," Loynes said.
