Rehabilitation centre hosts a special dinner to thank their donors
Local non-profit organisation Legae La Nnett wanted to thank everyone that helped them so far by giving them an extra-special home-grown dinner.
In October the group from Legae La Nnett treated their sponsors to an extra-special dinner at Riverstone Lodge in Muldersdrift.
All the food served at the dinner was grown by the residents on the farm.
Legae La Nnett means ‘A real home’ and that is what the farm tries to create for people who find their way there.
The farm serves as a halfway house for men with drug problems, but it is so much more. It provides a reintegration programme where addicts can go to get clean. They stay on until they have found their feet and are able to live on their own and support themselves again. They work at the fish-farming, poultry and organic vegetable growing units on the farm and they make pallet furniture. They also receive Christian counselling and are taught to cope with everyday things in order to rejoin society.
The organisation’s mission is to become fully self-sustainable. Plans for the next year are to build a community centre and a mechanical workshop, and expand the workshop they already have. They wish to build eight more rooms for tenants and an additional broiler coop, and repair the reservoir for the fish farm.
In the next five years they plan on building and establishing a children’ s home, a women’s centre and a training centre.
This is only possible with the help and donations of the community.
