We are a nonprofit organization running a farm 11km from Grahamstown on the N2 to Port Elizabeth and a house at 34 York Street Grahamstown. We offer a safe haven for men of all races, some of which are battling alcoholism or drug addiction. We offer Christian counseling and care and also rehabilitation programs via the State Hospital, Fort England, in Grahamstown. State pensioners / grant recipients also reside here but have to pay a minimal rental. The farm is run on a "Kibbutz" system to generate an income to sustain the running of the farm.

We understand the complexity of drug, alcohol, gambling and sex addiction. We offer a compassionate and effective approach to help you reclaim your life.
