San Salvador is a residential home with a difference. You are not a resident, you are a part of our family.

This is a personal post, but last week Admin (that’s me) was brought to tears.

These two women are absolute heroes, and it is an honour and a privilege to be able to amplify the work that they do. Not just on days that are recognised as charity days, but every day.

The challenges faced by both and cannot be understated. Times in our beautiful country can be tough, and funding is hard to come by.
These women, and the teams that they lead, are the energizer bunnies that never say die. Always looking for new opportunities, for ways to impact lives and build community and relationship.
Ronelle and Naomi, you are incredible humans.
Thank you for all that you do ❤️

Last week we had the opportunity to celebrate someone incredibly special to our home - our chairman, Ed Wilson.
In celebration of his 80th birthday, he brought cakes and goodies to share with our ladies.

Ed, 80 never looked this good!
Thank you for everything you do for our home and our San Salvador family. There is so much that you do quietly behind the scenes. You never ask for credit or recognition, you just show up and lead with love, passion and determination.
We are lucky to have you as our chairman!

From all of us at San Salvador, we wish you a very happy 80th!

We're not sure how we got so lucky!
Time and time again, Kearney - Management Consulting SA have blown us away with their genuine care, commitment and kindness.
There are so many things to thank them for - they have donated paint, and then done the painting, they don't just gift our ladies with spoils and sweet treats, they will come and spend time with them as well!
Kearney, you go above and beyond time and time again.
We are grateful for your consistent partnership, and for all your generosity over the past few years.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!
