The St Laurence’s Children’s Haven was founded in January 2001 under the auspices of the Roodepoort Child and Family Welfare Society.

The Haven was the dream of a group of lifelong friends – our mission is to offer abused, neglected and abandoned children love and care in a secure and warm environment.
