In celebration of National Woman’s Day Childline KZN is hosting our first Woman’s Day Breakfast on the 7 August 2018 at The Oyster Box.

Being advocates for children and woman we saw this as a perfect opportunity to celebrate woman. It is an opportunity for us to celebrate ourselves and our female mentors as well as help raise much needed funds for our organisation.  These funds will go towards us mentoring and helping our young girls one day become strong independent woman. We hope to see you there supporting Childline KZN.

On the 7 March 2018 Childline KZN honored past and present donors by inviting them to afternoon tea. The guests were given highlights of what our organization does as well as shown video clips of footage of our work. It was an entirely pleasant afternoon with our guests walking away well informed and highly motivated to continue assisting us in our fight against the scourge of abuse against our children.

A year ago Childline KZN started the “We Care” campaign. This was our way of “sharing our slice”. As an NPO we have been for the past year distributing 25 loaves of bread per week to two CYCCs in the Durban area. This year we are hoping to extend this service to include other much needed items and an occasional spoil.

We invite corporates to partner with us in this fulfilling drive. For more information call us on 031 312 0904. This year to commence valentine’s day we decided to show our love by spoiling the kids at Westgate Community Creche with homemade cupcakes which were sponsored by Geeths Creations…

Childine KZN applauds the justice system on the guilty conviction of Louisa and Kobus Koekemoer. The biological mother and stepfather were found guilty of the murder of Poppie van de Merwe (3). Poppie and her 5 year old brother were severely abused over a period of 8 months. When angelic looking Poppy arrived at the hospital, her tiny body was riddled with bruises. Several members of the community as well as her day care teacher noticed the injuries, however the police were never contacted. Each of these people stated that they believed social services were handling the case. Although there is victory in the guilty conviction it is a sad realisation that had any individual taken action, Poppie would still be alive. We at Childline KZN appeal to the public to act as advocates for our children, to be a voice for them. Do not look away, help reduce the increasing statistics of abuse against our children.

It is a delight to present this month’s employee of the month Ms Hlonipha Dlayiya from our Inanda sub offices who working as social worker and also willing to go the extra mile for our kids and the organisation . Well done!

For many children a teddy bear is more just a toy. It’s a soft, source of comfort, a confidant, bringing comfort to a child who is lonely or hurting in some way.

Childline KZN has seen how much comfort teddy bears bring to a child no matter what the type of trauma, be it neglect, abuse or abandonment. These furry toys help in making the child happy, more fulfilled and better able to cope with their challenges. A teddy bear will be a constant in a child’s life, something to take away with them, something to make them feel less lonely, and something to call their own.

To commemorate 16 Days of Activism, Childline KZN aims to hand out as many teddy bears as possible to all of our clients as well as to any children we deem in need of a friend. We are calling on the public help us provide as many “friends” as possible by donating a new teddy bear to us.

These teddy bears can be dropped off at our offices at 123 Percy Osborne Road, Morningside. These will in turn be handed out to every child that walks through our door and we are positive that it’s going to add some cheer and comfort to our kids through their difficulties as well as through the festive season. For more information please call our offices on 031 3120904 or email operationsmanager@childlinekzn.org.za

For the past five years, Sibaya Community Trust has been the sole donor for Childline KZN’s Crisis Line. In addition to generous donations, the Trust also funded the renovation of Childline KZN’s Crisis Line Centre to the value of nearly half a million rand.
