GIDEON PLACE OF SAFETY
Gideon Place of Safety operates a foster home for children in Lyttelton, Centurion. Children are placed in the facility by Social Welfare Services upon an order of the court. Here they find a safe and homely environment where they can learn, live and develop. When needed they are assisted through behaviour modificationprogrammes.
