San Salvador Home

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

With the highest levels of love, care and dignity, we offer women with intellectual disabilities a place to belong and a space to thrive.

We know, it's been a year!
2025 has had it's ups and it's downs, and we know that some of us are feeling tired.

But despite the challenges, we want to believe for better things for this new year!

Our wish for you, is that 2026 will be a year of magical moments and little surprises that catch you off guard, that stop and make you smile!
That there will be plenty of reminders of how beautiful the world is, and how it is so full of beautiful, kind people.
Our wish is that you will go further than what you thought possible, that you will overcome your challenges, and realise just how strong, resilient and brave you really are!
We hope that you will share your joy and your sparkle with others, that you will be the voice of hope and courage!
We hope that you will also be kind to yourself (and to others) if things get hard, and you feel tired.
We hope you will prioritise rest and spending time with those who love you and fill your cup.

But mostly, we just wish you happiness.

Here's to a fabulous 2026 🎉

Happy Christmas to all our family and friends!

Can you help us with a small gift for our orphaned ladies?

Some of the beautiful ladies in our care are alone in this world, which means that come Christmas day, they don't have any surprises under the Christmas tree.

A small gift makes a really big difference in the lives of these ladies, and helps them feel loved and special.

If you can help, here are some ideas:

💍 Costume jewelry
🧸Teddies
👜Handbags
🌹Smellies
🧣Scarves

If you can help, please get in touch with Ronelle on 010 449 6459 or email ronelle@sansalvadorhome.org

We are a home, not an institution.

What we do is not a job, it is so much more.
The women in our care are the reason for everything we do.
Their smiles and laughter mean the world. Their achievements and successes are ours as well.
And so are their heartaches and their struggles.

It's not always easy, and some days the challenges feel insurmountable, but they are the reason we never give up.

They make every day worthwhile.
We are honored and grateful for every woman who calls San Salvador their home 💙

Don't miss out!
There is still (a little bit) of time to get your Christmas pudding!

Admin (that's me) may be a little biased, BUT it's only because we have tasted these delicious creations and oh my goodness they are worth every penny!
They are baked with lots of love, and lots of brandy 😋

Contact Maureen on 061 518 2920 to get your hands on one - we promise you won't regret it!

Small - R150
Large - R300

All proceeds go back to the home, every purchase goes a long way to helping us care for precious ladies!

Safe spaces aren’t “nice to have”.
They save lives.

Whilst this might not be the case for our residents, this is the terrifying reality for many vulnerable women living with disabilities.
Places of safety often rely upon assistance from government and outside donations in order to continue operating.

The needs are great, but it's actually very easy to help, and every small act of kindness can have a big impact.

What you can do:

- Follow on social media.Likes, comments, and shares increase visibility and help programs like ours reach people and businesses that can assist financially.
- Support fundraising events
- Sponsor toiletries or groceries
- Volunteer your time - reading, crafts, baking, companionship.
- Offer your skills (admin, haircuts, repairs)
- Set up a small monthly debit order

We are grateful that the issue of has received such strong national attention, but awareness alone is not enough.

Together, we can help build safer, kinder and more inclusive spaces for women with disabilities.
