With the opening of schools having been delayed by a month, we are facing all kinds of extra expenses here at JCH.

Like having to pay for additional child care workers to look after our 64 boys and girls during the time they would normally be at school. And, because not everyone is a wiz at home schooling (just ask any parent!) and many of our children are already struggling to catch up on lessons missed before they came here – we have had to hire professional tutors as well.

Then there’s extra stationary – especially paper – so we can print out each child’s school work. And fuel for our driver to go round to the schools collecting work books and other essentials.

As you can imagine, it all costs money.

But there is a way you can help keep our kids’ education on track without breaking the bank.

Make a donation to the Johannesburg Children’s Home before the end of February – and we’ll send you (or your company) a section 18A Tax Certificate that you can use to reduce your tax burden. Plus, you’ll also earn valuable BBBEE points!

Your donation made before the end of February, will not only save you money, it will assist 64 young minds through a tough start to the year.

We don’t want to let them fall behind, through no fault of their own. They are willing to learn and put in the hard work, but we need to provide them with the tools.

So why not give yourself the joy of helping a child? And enjoy tax savings by donating online now.
