Story
Domino Babies’ Home, know as ‘Fairhavens‘, is a transition home (not an orphanage) located in Durban North, KZN, South Africa, wiht a capacity to care for up to six abandoned babies and toddlers who are in distress, from newborn to 5 years old. They have cared for 163 vulnerable children to date!
The Domino Foundation believes that for effective social change to take place within our nation, three key pillars need to be addressed,
SOCIAL CHARITY – To help those in need.
We understand that there is a need to address basic human needs and so charitable activities will always form the foundation of holistic interventions, BUT the intervention needs to move beyond charity and onto sustainable empowerment.
SOCIAL JUSTICE – To give everyone an equal and fair chance in life.
The first step to move beyond charity is to fight against the injustices that people face and to provide equal opportunities to all.
SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP – To use economic development to empower communities
To ensure sustainability and generational impact, true empowerment needs to take place. Using economic development, training and skills transfer techniques individuals and families will be equipped to capitalise on opportunities to support and sustain their lives.
