The Durbanville Children's Home cares for 144 children. An amount of
R4 015 is needed per child per month of which the government only subsidises R1 700. Therefore, the home’s marketing team needs to raise R4,3 million in order to survive.
The following is an outline of our annual expenditure:
|
Food and clothing This includes three balanced meals per day and takes continuous donations of food products, which we are very grateful for, into account. Without these donations, food costs would be much higher. |
R959 000 |
|
Therapeutic services This amount is completely insufficient and the need is much greater than the home can cover given financial constraints. |
R512 000 |
|
Transport Children at the home attend 26 different schools in order to adequately meet their individual scholastic needs. The maintenance of vehicles, insurance, drivers’ licenses and driving permits are included in this amount. |
