Imaani Family Village

The children living in the incomplete small Madressa section of the Masjid. HUDA SA requested that the children be temporarily moved into the clinic building. As much as the conditions in the clinic were not great they were better than the classroom. We intended to build proper homes for the children.

HUDA SA was a fairly new organisation at that time it could only assist to with mattresses, feeding and welfare grants for staff.

The construction of the first double-story cottage at Imaani Family Village began, signifying a commitment to the organization's capacity to accommodate the children in a family and home environment. This development was a substantial step forward in the organization's journey to create a safe and loving environment for the OVC living at the Village.

OVC PRIOR LIVING CONDITIONS IN THE CLINIC

The first double-story cottage at Imaani Family Village was built and the 20 OVC moved into their new homes. The cottages are designed to house 20 children, 10 in each cottage, in a family-like environment with the presence of two housemothers one in each cottage, representing a holistic approach to caregiving and support.

These cottages are equipped to provide housing, nutritious meals, and educational support to the OVC, offering them a stable and secure environment for their growth and development.

Each cottage consists of a library which is a valuable resource for the children's educational and personal development. It provides access to a wide range of books, including educational materials, encourages a love for reading and learning it also promotes literacy, helps with school assignments, and encourages a culture of lifelong learning amongst the children.

FIRST DOUBLE-STOREY COTTAGES

 

 

 

 

 

The construction of the second double-story cottage has started. The bottom cottage will house 10 children and the top cottage will house flats for the Imam and the auxiliary staff demonstrating the organization's commitment to expanding its capacity and providing a stable and loving home for more OVC. The second cottage will continue to embrace the family-like environment, allowing for close bonds among children and dedicated caregivers. As with the first cottage, the second cottage will likely feature amenities and resources that contribute to the children's overall development, such as an in-house library and other educational facilities.

SECOND COTTAGE PLANS

 

We are now establishing a computer centre with 4 computers. This centre will serve as a hub for the community members can access information on various topics, including healthcare, education, job opportunities, government programs, and more. By offering resources and opportunities for community members to improve their lives and well-being, the information centre can contribute to long-term, sustainable community development.

A hall and kitchen facility that will generate income for the Village as it will be let out to the community for functions.

A functional clinic that will be used by the Umbumbulu community.
