Covid might be a barrier to most activities but our children’s love for reading remains unhindered. The book club meetings once a week have proved to be both beneficial by keeping our children’s minds engaged and focused. Listening to them read slightly difficult words with ease is such a breadth of fresh air.
We extend our gratitude to you for your lovely donation of books and especially to FunDza Literacy Trust  for continuing to send our children books twice a year.  

Building the Nation one book at a time.

Do you accept any donations?

Yes, we accept any donations in Cash or Kind. We are happy to receive donations of meals, groceries, toiletries and cleaning materials. Since we are one of few Childrens facilities that cater for such a large number of children, and a wide range of ages vi 3 years till 21 years old, we require items to meet the needs of all, and therefore we are comfortable to accept donations of good second hand clothes, shoes, toys, bedding, linen etc. We also accept the odd brick and brack that you have, as these may be used in the cottages, office, maintenance or garden.

We however also inform you as the donor that we do sort our all donations in kind, use what we can for our facility and use the balance in our Community Jumble Sales so that these funds are diverted back to our programmes.

Are you funded by the Government?
Yes, just like all Non-Government Organizations, PCH operates as a Private welfare organization and is NOT a Government or state facility! We function independently but do work under the mandates of the law, and are a registered body under the Department of Social Development. For each child placed with us we claim a Subsidy for that child from the DSD. This amounts to R4000 per child per month however the average cost to care per child currently is around R6000 per child per month. A residential facility cannot function without meeting all its daily expenses and children can not live if the water and lights are not paid therefore we are constantly working on fundraising efforts, appeals, funding proposals etc to source additional funds from other avenues in order to meet the annual deficit.

Transactions made with simplicity. We often encounter people who want to purchase or make a donation on the spot and the problem is always the fact that we don’t have a card machine to complete this transaction. That is why we have a new and quick way to make payment. It’s simple as 123…remember to tap, swipe or insert your card to complete a transaction.

This initiative partners with over 138  beneficiaries to ensure that children are receiving a nutritious meal daily. Add Hope raises money through customer donations added at the till or on the Add Hope website, as well as donating a percentage of KFC profits as its own Corporate social responsibility.
This is how it works:
When buying a meal you simply Add R2 for Add Hope to your bill…
Donations are also made by KFC…All that donations goes to the KFC Social Responsibility Trust…who then allocates to suitable applicants
(This Campaign feeds nutritious meals to over 120 000 children every day in South Africa, and PCH is one of their beneficiaries)

Your R2 really does go a long way, and reaches us
to serve our children on a daily basis, so don’t hesitate to make your R2 pledge today!
