About Dayspring

A Legacy of Service & Hope Since 1983

HIS School Dayspring at Dayspring Children’s Village (DCV) in the Magaliesberg area of South Africa was established in 1983 by Charles and Wendy Paine to provide quality education and care based on Christian principles for the at-risk and vulnerable children living in this rural area. It provides schooling from Grade R to Grade 9 for approximately 98 of these children. Boarding facilities from Monday to Friday provide relief from the often difficult and stressful environment the children come from.
