LIV Village model
The LIV model is long term cluster foster care, where the children will have a sense of belonging in a homely environment, modelling an African village lifestyle. The houses are built in clusters, each with 8 homes surrounding a communal play area. Each home has a fully trained House Mother, who may bring two biological children, and will be given up to six children through the Department of Social Welfare. Within a family environment they will receive unconditional love, spiritual discipleship, care and nurturing.
Eco Village
LIV’s goal is to be an eco-friendly Village. Each home has its own solar water heating system. Tanks attached to all village buildings catch rain water which is used to flush the toilets. Boreholes are used to irrigate the sports field and vegetable gardens.
The LIV vision is to be able to produce, in the future, our own solar electricity, as well as install sewage purification plants.
Farming for self sustainability
Liv is committed to becoming a self sustaining farming Village, growing our own fruit and vegetables.
We practise conservation agriculture called “Farming God’s Way”, which is a simple method of growing your own food and giving back to nature what was taken out. It is built on four key principles : On time, with standard, without waste, with JOY.
We believe that if we are faithful with what God has given us and follow his mandate to help the poor, he will in turn bless our land.
Caring for the community
LIV Villages are small communities situated alongside existing rural communities, with whom we encourage a healthy relationship and interaction.
Each village will have a Skills Training and Business Development Centre, which will offer tertiary education and job opportunities, to both the Village children, and the local community.
We also involve our children in regular outreaches to the community in order to teach them the joy of giving to others in need.
Why LIV Exists
There are over 5 million orphaned and vulnerable children in South Africa, mostly due to HIV/AIDS and poverty, with 12,000 added to this every month.
LIV exists to raise the next generation of leaders in South Africa. We place orphaned and vulnerable children into a family environment with a trained foster mother to love them, a school to educate them, and where all their physical needs are met.
If these children are equipped with essential moral values and life skills, they will grow up to be a generation that will influence positive change within South Africa, Africa and the world.
The future plan is to see many villages across our nation, raising future leaders, and turning scars into stars by providing a fresh start in a supportive community.

Get involved in a Corporate Team Building day. The focus is on physical tasks of various degrees – from building fences to planting trees, to painting and decorating houses or covering library books, or handing out food, as well as interaction with the children. We have found these days a rewarding team building exercise, where staff find they get much more value out than the effort they put in.
