How to get involved
Eden House is looking for volunteers to maintain contact with our network of community members via email, whatsapp and phone, for about 3 hours a week, and to assist with social media outreach. If you are people-oriented, comfortable with technology and communication, organised, proactive, and passionate about helping build Eden House, please get in touch. Relevant experience is not essential — guidance and support will be provided. Time capacity, strong administrative ability, reliability, and heart matter most. If this resonates with you, please contact us at
Our main priority at the start of this journey is securing and preparing a property where children can be welcomed into a safe, stable home environment.
We have identified a highly suitable property in Concordia, Knysna — a green, spacious environment where children can play, develop and live. The property is close to schools and community facilities, offering the setting needed for a stable and nurturing home.

3,820m2 Space | A large, beautiful green plot offering excellent room to play, develop and live. |
|
Two Houses+ Flatlet | Two easily convertible homes - one for the boys, one for girls- plus a flatlet for staff. |
|
Garages for Skills Programmes | Future extramural and skills development programmes built right into the property. |

Large Outdoor Areas | Generous outdoor space for play, healing and connection - with views of the ocean and mountains. |
Here is what it will take to secure and prepare the home:
