The predecessor of this programme, the Ikhaya Lempilo programme, started in 2008 when the need for a 24-hour facility for HIV/Aids patients was identified.  An eight-bed house was built and for a period of five years a much-needed service was delivered to the broader community.  At the end of 2013 it was decided to alter the programme and use the space to make a difference in terms of broader wellness. 

The goal of the Care programme is to offer a supportive and nurturing relationship to every Legacy learner. It focuses on:

• Our beneficiaries’ basic and psychosocial needs

• Academic support

• The care groups (all the Khulani kids are divided into peer groups that are cared for by a facilitator.)

• ‘Parents as Partners’. We believe that a relationship with the parents/guardians benefit the wellness of the children; it improves our understanding of the child’s home life and offers support in parenting skills to the parents/guardians.

• The wellness of the students. Legacy is proud to support students who study at tertiary level in the Western Cape with a living allowance.  This provides pocket money for students and supplements any bursary funds they receive.
