Saturday, 11 October 2025, was a truly special day for the Arukah Foundation, the official opening of our very first house. What began as a vision to create a place of hope, healing, and new beginnings has now become a reality, thanks to the incredible support and generosity of our community.

Royal Village was established by the Arukah Foundation to bring healing and hope to our community. Our vision is to create a safe haven for children affected by abuse, neglect, or molestation, a place where they can heal, grow, and believe in a brighter future.

We had the privilege of planting the first Royal Family Kids Camp in the Klein Karoo in 2017. Since then, we have already held six successful camps in the Ladismith area, where 192 children’s lives have been affected and changed by the programme.
