Anglo American support of Durban Children's Home

Anglo American support of Durban Children's Home

Date: 2012-11-01
Financial support from Anglo American's dedicated Corporate Social Investment (CSI) arm, the Chairman's Fund, towards the Durban Children's Home, is set to create a real difference in the lives of children in need in South Africa.

The Chairman's Fund has provided a R410,000 grant over the last two years to help the Durban Children's Home develop a written policy and procedure manual relating to the operational, human resources and child care practice requirements of the new Children's Act; which came into effect on 1 April 2010.

Subsequently, the donation has not only enabled the Durban Children's Home to become the first home in South Africa to have the provisions of this Act in place, but has allowed the organisation to create a better consensus on the effective running of child and youth care centres, by sharing the manual with others in the sector.

The amended Children's Act creates the opportunity for organisations to identify areas that require transformation in order to comply with the required provisions, norms and standards of the Act. Durban Children's Home Director, Mandy Goble notes that the Chairman's Fund's support has allowed the organisation to function better and create a widespread impact.

The Durban Children's Home was established over a hundred years ago, and has been instrumental in providing care to orphans, destitute children and children in need. It offers a range of relevant and innovative programmes that strive to meet the needs of children in a developmental and holistic manner.

The Chairman's Fund has previously donated R425 000 towards the Home, from 2004 to 2009.

Chairman's Fund Chairperson Norman Mbazima concludes that Anglo American's support of the Durban Children's Home is motivated by desire to make a real difference in South African communities.

"Anglo American is committed to supporting initiatives that create better futures for communities, and an essential aspect of this strategy is strengthening the capabilities surrounding welfare systems. We are, therefore, delighted to be able to assist the Durban Children's Home in adhering to the standards of the revised Children's Act."
