What you should know about Arise

Churches in Cape Town, Social Workers in Cape Town

In June 2006, a partnership with St. Thomas Church, Heideveld was formed – a relationship that continues to be of immense value and encouragement to Arise.

At Arise, we believe that every child should be raised in a thriving family. We promote and support adoption and foster care for children without families and we provide quality family support through community organisation partnerships in resource-poor communities. By helping to create and sustain permanent, thriving family environments for children, we can be a part of emptying every children’s home and keeping them empty! Based in Heideveld on the Cape Flats, Arise is uniquely positioned to impact existing families in resource- poor communities and to work city-wide to promote new families through adoption and foster care. Our Family Centre model is based around collaborative partnerships with community organisations, delivering a high-quality holistic service to families. Through therapeutic and psychosocial groups, individual and family therapy and counselling, and both formal training and informal coaching of community lay counsellors and church outreach workers, we serve the community on all levels. All linked to local churches and community organisations, these services are professionally delivered at no cost to clients to serve and empower families in some of Cape Town’s most economically disadvantaged communities. Not content with the status quo, we have engaged hundreds of stakeholders across Cape Town to facilitate the implantation of better systems for planning permanent placements for children in institutional care. We are committed to seeing children placed in secure, thriving, permanent families. We provide pre-adoption advice and signposting, post-placement support through facilitated groups, and each year we host a large Adoption Conference for prospective adoptive families covering a wide range of relevant topics. Arise is the unfolding result of years of praying and dreaming about how best to serve children and empower families. At Arise, we believe that every child should be given the opportunity to be raised in a thriving family. Our Family Centre model of working holistically in resource-poor communities is developed to be effective and replicable. Become part of the Arise family through volunteering, sharing, prayer and financial giving. For years, we at Arise have listened to stories of adoptive families struggling to register adoptions, successfully apply for name changes and receive birth certificates at the Department of Home Affairs.
