The word “haven’ doesn’t only mean place of safety. It means security, retreat, refuge, oasis and port in a storm. At Heneka Haven we aim to provide exactly that. A safe home and refuge for children with a short life expectancy – children who have been neglected, traumatized and are permanently disabled.

We are currently housing 12 children – who have all outlived the fate that was announced as theirs. We believe that every child in our house – has exactly as much potential within them as each one of us – in spite of their disabilities.

The children at Heneka Haven are not only cared for – they are loved – nurtured and part of a family where they can belong. The best gift that we can give the babies in our house – is not a home – it’s seeing them in the same way Love does.
