All school going children are enrolled at Verulam Islamic
School or the La Mercy Primary School.
Regular assessment of school performances is undertaken
with the school. This takes form in monthly meetings. In addition, tution
in certain subjects is also given. During 2009, 3 of our girls wrote metric
and have passed.

GROUP WORK PROGRAMME
Under the supervision of the social worker regular professional
group programmes are organised for those children displaying particular
behavioural difficulties or those at risk. Some of the themes
covered are interpersonal conflict management and teenage interpersonal
relationships.

The Organisation having an Islamic ethos necessitates
a regular vernacular programme apart from Mainstream teaching
and learning on the fundamentals of Islam, the respect for diverse
religious and cultural practices, tolerance, peace, caring and
sharing.

LIFESTYLE PROGRAMMES
This is an ongoing programme that takes into
consideration the development stages of the children. Baking,
pasta making, samoosa making and painting are taught. Children
enthusiastic about nature are encouraged to participate in the
tunnel and chicken farm projects. To further assist the children
a new media centre is almost complete and will be fitted with
computers, internet access and books for the children's development.

REINTEGRATION
AND FAMILY REUNIFICATION PROGRAMMES
This constitutes the thrust of the child and
youth care programmes offered at Baitul Aman. The programme is
founded on the basic tenet of child and youth care practice that
institutional care is the last option for the children. As far
as possible the stay of children at the institution must span
the shortest duration.

|
RECREATION
Soccer and netball are the most popular sports
enjoyed by the children of Baitul Aman. Plans are on hand to improve
the playing area at the home by moving the tunnel farm to a new
area thus creating a field capable of playing all codes of sports.
A regular feature is the participation of our children in inter
school sports organised by the association of Muslim schools. |

HOLIDAY PROGRAMMES
As much as the organisation has tried to encourage
children to be reunited with families during the vacation period,
this seldom materialises into resounding success. Consequently
host families for placements during vacations are screened by
the Organisation’s social worker. Structured holiday programmes
are also organised in and around the Durban and Midlands areas.
