ABOUT

This year, we will be honoring the work of Janine & Dion Fabe who manage Hannah's place of safety in Mitchell's plain. For evey shoot sold, R67 will be donated to the work they do with vulnerable babies.


This is Janine's story:

"After working in the fashion industry for over 17 years, the tug in my heart to make a difference in the lives of children grew too strong to ignore. Working full time, traveling internationally for business, married with five kids, my hands were full. Yet the urging to take care of abandoned, orphaned and abused children continued to increase. To care for unwanted, unloved and unprotected kids had always been a desire of my heart. It started with my father. He was an orphan from 7 years old to 18 years of age. I saw the struggles he faced even as an adult resulting from never having anyone truly love him as he grew up in the orphanage. Once he pointed to me the old orphanage building called Bonny Town. It never left me.

 

About 12 years ago, I volunteered with the local Orphanage Christine Revell. It is where we met and later adopted our youngest daughter. The children I served at the Revell facility further solidified my desire to help hurting children. In 2015, I resigned my management position and in 2016 Dion and I launched Hannah’s Place of Safety."
