Yet another facility referred by Tshwane North Outreach. There are more or less 100 children served at the facility on a daily basis and of those, 10-11 sleep in. The buildings are mostly tin huts with one building made of brick (the office and kitchen part).
The playground equipment is well-used by the children, but there is obviously not enough for the number of kids that wish to play on it.
Babies are kept in one of the tin huts. The floors are bare cement with thin, loose carpets strewn around. They don’t have any cots for the children, and only a few mattresses. Some of the children are HIV+ and get sick ever so often….the cold tin huts only aggravate their susceptibility to illness.
Please take note of their urgent needs:
- - Blankets and clothes for the babies
- - Cots, beds and mattresses
- - Toiletries and medicine
- - Food
- - Educational supplies
- - Stationary
If you can help at all, please contact me immediately.
