An inspirational poster of Nelson Mandela sits alongside two Bibles in the entrance of the iCare Centre in Durban, South Africa. iCare is a national Christian NGO with the mission of supporting and rehabilitating South Africa’s homeless youth, or “street kids.” At the Durban iCare Centre, employees and volunteers provide boys with warm food and clean clothes, as well as educational and recreational activities such as chess or sports. iCare takes a holistic approach to supporting the children and attempts to reconnect them with their families or place them in a rehabilitation centre, all while working toward the goal of education or skills development.
