Winter in South Africa is a perfect time for crop farming. We all have that mentality of thinking that just because the weather is harsher, the crop will not grow. Yet there are certain fruits or vegs that one can plant during winter such as spinach, kale and green pepper, which our children engaged with.
We reported last month that the children had already started with their crop farming and it is these crucial stages where they are now doing everything to take care of them. Regular weeding and watering of plants will ensure that we get to enjoy a good harvest. 

This month we are going to focus on our current status. PCH is made up of a Board of Trustees, Board of Directors, our Management team and staff component. Currently we are providing care to 74 Children who are placed in our care by the Children’s Court. Our Child Care program is in line with section 191 of Children’s Act 38 of 2005, and our core focus is on the holistic development of every child.
Everyone who is a part of our organization shares the same vision that Miss Mary Elizabeth Cooke had from the beginning: “Every child having a place called home.” These are definitely big shoes to fill but we are working tirelessly to make sure that her vision is carried through and her dedication was not in vain.

 “Better Together”

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!
