As the year draws to a close and festive celebrations continue, New Jerusalem Children’s Home is proudly looking back on a year where big dreams were nurtured, new doors opened, and the community’s kindness shone brighter than ever.

One of the standout achievements of 2025 was the opening of three new high school classrooms for Lanto Montessori International Schools, a milestone that expands access to quality education for the home’s learners and strengthens its mission to provide a nurturing, future-focused environment.

Another shining moment came when resident and learner Queen Nhlapo received a prestigious DHET bursary to study abroad, a life-changing opportunity that has inspired many of the younger children.

Marketing manager Hopkins Kaira said the home’s successes this year would not have been possible without the steadfast support of its donors. “We send our special thanks to all our donors. They are wonderful, and we encourage them to keep supporting the children in every way they do.”
