Emasithandane, affectionately known as Emasi, is a home for the most vulnerable children in Nyanga. We live with a strong believe that we must love each other, always.

Emasi consists of three very small bedrooms which house all the children in addition to small common spaces. The vision is to extend the premises to address the needs of the children better.

The aim of Emasi is to address not only the basic needs such as clothing, shelter, education, and food but also a holistic and nurturing environment that will help facilitate personal growth in the face of extreme odds. The children at Emasi and in the local community face many obstacles and live in an area experiencing very high rates of unemployment, crime, and overcrowding.
