Making the change

We believe that education gives vulnerable children the opportunity to overcome restrictions of poverty because it is a fundamental step to freedom. We are one of the first Child and Youth Care Centres to offer a holistic Education programme. On entering the program at age 2, we offer Early Childhood Development (ECD) support followed by correct school placements, as well as occupational, remedial and homework support. On leaving our care, we offer support accommodation for 2 years whilst assisting our children to find employment and assist our children financially to study further at tertiary institutions.

OUR IMPACT IN 2023:

144 children are effectively equipped with a solid education and necessary life skills. 

  • 22 children receive early childhood development support.
  • 31 children receive occupational therapy support.
  • 21 children are annually reunified with their families or significant others. 
  • 6 young adults are supported financially to study further. 
  • 12 young adults, in their last year at Durbanville Children’s Home, are accommodated in our bridging house in Kraaifontein. Here they receive guidance to ensure that they can live independently.
  • Annually 4 Child and Youth Care Workers receive accredited training.
  • 100 children benefit from therapeutic interventions.
  • 6 international and 62 local volunteers are integrated into our programmes.

NEEDS:

Due to limited space in public school, our children are presently in 42 schools in and around Durbanville.

We need financial contributions, and donations of goods toward the following needs:
  • School clothes – (R109 000, 00 per year)
  • Transport to and from school and extra mural activities- (R255 000 per year)
  • Stationary and textbooks – (R73 000 per year)
  • Food parcels – (R244 000 per year)

Supporting this project allows corporates to accumulate valuable BBBEE points and receive an 18A tax certificate. More importantly, as a Child and Youth Care Centre, we can work together with you, our funders, to make a meaningful impact.
