Child Welfare in need of donations
The community is still welcome and encouraged to seek the services of the welfare
ALTHOUGH there’s been an ongoing internal investigation, the door is still open and services are still available at Child Welfare Kempton Park.
The community is still welcome and encouraged to seek the services of the society.
But the non-profit organisation is also in need of Kempton’s help.
“For any organisation to run efficiently, it requires monetary funding, and so does Child Welfare. The organisation is in need of monetary donations from the public. Any amount will be most welcome,” said Marianda Mnyakama, the society’s intern fund-raiser and publicist.
The organisation usually also holds jumble sales in order to raise funds. These funds contribute greatly to the running of the organisation.
Due to the lack of donations from the community, the organisation can, however, hold jumble sales only once a month, or even once in two months.
Child Welfare Kempton Park is appealing to all members of the Kempton Park community to please drop off second-hand clothes, as well as other items and appliances that are no longer in use at their offices, so they can use them to raise funds at the jumble sales.
Other donations needed include items such as non-perishable food, good second-hand clothes, toys, baby goods, cleaning materials, stationery and toiletries that can be used at the different homes taken care of by the society.
“All contributions and donations will be greatly appreciated by the organisation; help us to make a difference in our community,” said Mnyakama.
“As Child Welfare Kempton Park, we believe in the safety and well being of our children. Our organisation functions to help and promote growing up and living in a secure environment.”
The organisation is situated at 19 Maxwell Street, Kempton Park.
