A safe, joyful space for learners from the Cato Ridge informal settlement — nurturing young minds through learning, play, and community.
House of Dorcas is a non-profit organisation with a big heart and an even bigger mission — to give children from the Cato Ridge informal settlement a safe, loving space to learn, play, and grow into the best versions of themselves.
Dedicated tutors help learners with homework and core subjects each afternoon.
A welcoming, secure space where every child feels valued and protected.

Qualified tutors guide learners through their schoolwork so no child falls behind — because every grade matters.
Soccer goals, open fields, and endless energy — we keep kids active, healthy, and having an absolute blast!
Thanks to amazing partners, our learners get hands-on experience with tablets and technology to prepare for a digital future.
Building blocks, puzzles, and arts & crafts spark imagination and develop problem-solving skills — all wrapped up in fun.
Smiles, laughter, and learning — a glimpse into the vibrant world of our after school programme.
