Program
Our program is totally free for all those who need and request our help. Admission can be obtained immediately. It must be always on a free and voluntary basis after a previous interview with the interested individual, either face-to-face or by phone. During the interview, all information, related to the internal functions of the centre, will be given.
​
The program covers a period of approximately 12 to 18 months, depending on the individual needs and progress. The time could be extended if the team considers it necessary, depending primarily upon the motivations and circumstances.
Our compassionate and experienced staff helps all of our program participants to regain independence and a new life.
The centre offers in-user recuperation, which means that the user will reside in one of the houses of the centre. There are different houses where they are always attended to by House Leaders and Responsibles.
​
The user will remain in the centre on a voluntary basis and will ask for leave when he decides it is time, or when the team considers it appropriate. Admission is not to be denied to anyone on grounds of illness, pregnancy, culture, race, religion, or sex.
​
You are welcome to visit our Centre in Benoni to receive more information about the procedures and functions of our program. You can also join us for our Sunday services, from 9:30 am to 12:00pm.

Self-supporting Program
Reto operates as a self- supporting program.
The program is financed and maintained through the jobs we do in our workshop, including carpentry, mechanics, antiques restoration, electro domestic repair, and service of removal or clearances of house. We also receive donations in the form of furniture, household items, scrap metals, and food, etc., from the local community. Everything fixed, restored or made in our workshops as well as the donated items are the sold in our trade and charity shops. This is how we raise the funding to sustain the needs of the people involved in the program.
All finances raised goes directly and totally back to the program. The work we do in our workshops also provides an ideal opportunity for learning skills and a trade that can later help each person towards a successful reinsertion. It also gives those in the program a greater sense of worth, responsibility, and useffness knowing that their work help themselves and others.

My friend “I am the drug”. I have destroyed many ignorant people’s lives. I am the one who infiltrated myself into parties and discos, schools and parks. I am the one who in the beginning deceived you in this world full of problems, with the time coming when I start to become indispensable in your life and I will dominate you.“I am the drug”, the one who has destroyed many lives in this world. I don’t care about your race or culture, if you’re rich or poor; when you taste me you are mine for the rest of your life.
Do you remember when you started trying me? You were sad, you felt alone. I offered you happiness and now I have you, you are mine. We are a team. I wake up in the morning, I make you walk like a puppet, MY WILL is your will. I destroyed your physical and spiritual life. I am the one who destroyed your home, who takes the love of your wife and family. I am the one who imprisoned you. And you are like a worm. I captivated you and you love me. There is nobody on earth who can break down our love. You try to forget me but you can’t. Science and doctors can’t break our love.
My only enemy is Jesus Christ, the son of God. I have seen him rescue many of my followers, and now they live happily embraced in his Love and care. I hate him! Because He is the only one who can overcome me! He is the one who in the long run can control me. Against Him I cannot fight…I always lose when He intervenes. I know He is the only one who can save you from me. He is talking to you now and I don’t like it.
