Our Foster Journey

The Schultz family motto is: “There is always room at our table for one or two more”

Johann and Genevieve are known as The Schultz Foster Family in Pretoria, South Africa. “Our mission is to provide a nurturing normal home for abused and abandoned children, embodying our belief that "children flourish in families."

Our children are funny, kind, quirky, smart, naughty, busy, intelligent sweet little humans and we adore them more than words can say. We are strict loving parents. We instil Godly values and have Schultz family values that we hold each other accountable to. Do we fail OH YES! But we love and forgive quickly.”

Recognition and Personal Philosophy: “Our dedication has been acknowledged through nominations, such as Genevieve being recognized as Hero for Children in 2022 by Child Line & McCarthy Motors SA. We emphasize the importance of providing a stable and loving environment for children from all walks of life, reflecting our belief in equality and opportunity for all, regardless of race, sex, orientation, or ethnicity.

We have an unwavering commitment to continue to make a profound impact on the lives of many children. We have a beautiful family and a supportive network. We have had 9 children in care of which 7 have moved on to forever families or been reunited with family. We are in the process of adopting two children, have one biological child and are hoping God will add another sibling or two in our family in the next few years. We are also holiday parents to our one foster boy’s siblings.

We are just a normal family with extraordinary children. We don’t have huge sponsors or government funding. We live in the belief that God will make a way and He always does. Our needs are that of a normal family. We appreciate the friends and followers who help us on our journey in big and small ways. Without you, we could not love unconditionally and try and offer the kids everything they can have to build a happy normal life.

We owe our family, our parents and friends and God every praise and gratitude. We have a calling much bigger than our own capacity and means.”
