Vistarus Turns 15!

Vistarus Mission Station was founded 15 years ago on 8 July. Today, we accommodate more than 500, 228 people are on the destitute program and we have, on average,  80 children living with their parents.

The destitute program are for those who have lost everything they owned due to either addiction problems or something else that went wrong in their lives. Vistarus cares for their shelter, food, clothing, toiletries and other necessities such as doctoral, dental and an optical.

Each year, we have a celebration of the day Vistarus was established. This is also to remind everyone of what we do exactly, and how far we have come over the years.
This year, BayFM broadcasted from the premises and interviewed Heloise, the social worker, the founders Lynette and Kobus Jacobs as well as Reynette Oosthuizen, one of the counselors, the pastor Rudi van Rensburg and Fatima Collins, PRO of Vistarus.
