Our team


Our team

The Abraham Kriel Children’s Home Nylstroom (AKKN) will not be able to function without a dedicated team of people with a common vision. This includes children being cared for and educated to become happy, healthy and well-disciplined members of society who consider the needs of others. Our staff take a holistic approach to caring for our children taking their physical, religious, educational, welfare and social needs into account. At the AKKN we are privileged to have a team of highly qualified people with years of experience working with children.
