This year marks a special milestone for LITTLE EDEN Society. The Society celebrates 55 years of providing love, care, dignity, and respect to over a thousand children and adults with profound intellectual disability, who have come through its doors since inception. To help us celebrate this special milestone, please donate towards our Charity Shop and put a smile on our resident’s faces.

LITTLE EDEN Society Charity Shop located at De Sun Place, 33. 8th Avenue in Edenvale is low on volumes and is in desperate need of donations and appeals to the community to assist by donating items such as pre-loved clothes, furniture, books, kitchenware, linen, appliances, toys, bric-a-brac, etc. All funds raised through the operation of our Charity Shop go directly towards the care of our 300 children and adults with profound intellectual disability.

The organisation continues to offer quality care with a lasting impact to some of the most vulnerable members of our community, thanks to the support and donations made directly to the Home and the Society’s Charity Shop.

The Shop operating hours are as follows:
Mon-Fri: 09:00 -16:00
Sat: 08:30-12:30
Sun and Public Holidays: Closed

Did you know this about Johannesburg? There is only one other city on the continent that is bigger than Joburg, and that is the bustling metropolis of Cairo in Egypt. Johannesburg is the second biggest city on Africa.

The Cradle of Humankind and Ancient Roots

While the modern city is only about 140 years old, the ground beneath it holds the secrets of humanity’s earliest ancestors. Located just 50 kilometers northwest of the city center is the Cradle of Humankind, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This area contains a complex system of limestone caves, including the famous Sterkfontein Caves, where nearly 40% of all the world’s human ancestor fossils have been discovered.

Significant finds like “Mrs. Ples” (Australopithecus africanus) and the near-complete skeleton of “Little Foot” have provided scientists with crucial evidence about how early hominids walked upright and transitioned into the Homo genus. More recently, in 2013, the discovery of Homo naledi in the Rising Star cave system stunned the scientific community, suggesting that ancient human relatives may have practiced ritualized burial much earlier than previously thought. This proximity to the “birthplace of humanity” gives Johannesburg a unique cultural depth; while it is a city of skyscrapers and high finance, it is also a place where you can stand on the very ground where our species took its first steps.
