The Men’s and Ladies Centre’s enjoy prime locations less than 20min from Pretoria central in Gauteng. Both facilities provide a tranquil farm atmosphere, removed from the hustle and bustle of the urban lifestyle. Students are housed in typical “school hostel” like accommodation where there is continuous interaction with peers, leaders and management.
Students qualify for the privilege of a staying at the Vaalwater Game Farm for a period of time. A student can only qualify by showing commitment and progress within the programme structure. Only small groups of students are accommodated at a time, allowing for a hands on approach and personal touch by Annetjie and Ado Krige. The Vaalwater programme is intensive and focuses on the transition of the students back to a life outside of the HR confines.
Each student receives individualised care and a personal evaluation of progress and “readiness” for finishing the programme is communicated back to the sponsors. Sponsors are also welcome to stay in one of the appointed chalet’s spending time and celebrating the success of the students.
