In December, 1996, a group of concerned individuals
interested in providing a home for Denise Howell and
some other children with special needs met, and as a
result of that meeting, the idea for the Amazing Grace
Project was born with the intention of caring for
homeless children, with special needs, who were
currently residing at the Holberton Hospital and the
Fiennes Institute – a home usually for destitute
citizens.
Today the home is permanent residence to 7 children, provides
day care for up to 3 other children, and with the help of a full
time pediatrician offers free care to a further 150 disabled
children in the community.
The children are cared for by 4 house parents who provide round
the clock care and organize trips to the beach and local
destinations when possible.
