The Story of a Village
Posted by Breggie Hoffman on 21 June 2022, 12:45 SAST
For TLC, freedom is the power to make your own choices with equity. We believe in helping those who are the most marginalised, on their own terms and in the way that best suits their heritage, current situation, and goals for the future.
The TLC Village has been built to reweave the damaged social fabric of local communities, reviving the 'village' of interconnected generations. We empower those in our care not only to be free FROM poverty, but to be free FOR a future brimming with possibility and hope.
Drawing from our child- and human-centred values that focus on the well-being of each person, our four main portfolios address the babies without a safe and loving home, older children at risk of being institutionalised, expectant mothers unable to care for their babies, and the various volunteers who serve the other three areas.
Fluidly underpinning these four formally structured pillars is our work in advocacy and collaboration. We champion all those involved in our portfolios by campaigning government officials, institutions, and legislature to best serve them legally. We weave with the greater community as well, whether through local outreach or our interconnected global village of past volunteers, our supporters, and adoptive parents of babies who lived at TLC. In all of this, we align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and play our part in working towards them within our own sphere of influence.
