A new school year is always filled with promise – new classrooms, new teachers, new friendships, and countless opportunities to learn and grow. Here at The Johannesburg Children’s Home, we are getting 64 boys and girls ready to step confidently into 2026. And we need your help to make sure each one begins the year on equal footing with their peers.

Like any parent at this time of year, we’re helping our children try on uniforms, mending what can be saved, and replacing what can’t. We’re refilling stationery supplies, finding school bags that will survive a busy year of homework and sport, and making sure that no child is sitting in class without breakfast or lunch to help them concentrate.

For some of our boys and girls, we also need to provide specialist educational assessments – support that makes it possible for them to catch up, keep up, or get the help they need to do well at school.

These aren’t extras. They’re the foundation of confidence and success.

And this is where your generosity makes all the difference.

Please consider sponsoring items like blazers and jerseys, school bags, stationery, and school lunches. Or contributing towards educational assessments and extra lessons. Any amount you can spare today will be received with deep gratitude and put to work immediately for our children.
