One Community. One Commitment. Every Child Matters.
Daybreak House for Vulnerable Babies opened its doors in June 2023 with one simple but profound conviction: that every baby deserves to feel safe, loved and known.
We are a registered Place of Safety in Pretoria, operated by The Grové Schoombee Foundation NPC. We care for babies from birth until they are reunified with family, placed in foster care or adopted into their forever home.
We believe this is not just our calling. It is yours too.
"He will take delight in you with gladness. With His love, He will calm all your fears."
Zephaniah 3:17
From the Daybreak Journal
The Story of Promise
She had no inheritance, no status, nothing to offer but her own quiet existence. This is what Promise’s story teaches us about grace that isn’t earned.
Who Speaks for the Child Who Cannot Speak?
Some of the most important voices in our society are the ones never heard. Babies who cannot speak, toddlers who cannot name what happened to them, children whose stories are written in behaviour and silence rather than words. As social workers, we are called to listen to what cannot be said, and to fight for those who cannot yet fight for themselves.
The Radiant Collection
A painting on an easel. A little girl who does not know her story is about to hang on someone’s wall. This is the beginning of The Radiant Collection, and the first painting is called Promise.
Every Baby Needs a Village. Will You Be Part of Ours?
Every baby that comes through our doors arrives vulnerable and leaves loved. You make that possible. Will you join our village today?
