Epworth Children's Village
Epworth Children’s Village is a Methodist children’s home and therapeutic treatment centre, situated in Germiston, Gauteng. Epworth was established in 1914 as a residential home for children orphaned as a result of the war. Over the past 95 years, the services have changed and adapted to the needs of the times. Epworth now has two core programmes: the Residential Care programme; and the Therapeutic Treatment Centre. From October 2008 to December 2010 1226 children and family members were assisted through Epworth’s programmes. Epworth offers services to children of all races, religions and languages. The extent of Epworth’s services and its reach has increased dramatically.
