Help Umgeni Community Empowerment Centre by donating R750 per month X2 for transport to school
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
In February 2025 we took two children, sister (14 years) and brother (11 years), off the streets and have placed them in a safe house. We have enlisted them in school for which they hadn’t attended for 2 years through an exemption from the Department of Education. Initial additional costs such as uniforms, stationery and food have been sponsored through the kindness of others. We appeal to anyone who could adopt these two children in providing funds for transport costs to and from the school. Unfortunately, there is no public transport or school bus to take them, so we have to rely on a private taxi service. The cost for each child is R750 per month.
Helpful tips
Stay safe
- 1. Don’t pass any personal information to people you haven’t met offline before.
- 2. When meeting one of your contacts offline for the first time, always be sure to arrange to meet in a public place.
- 3. Make sure that you are not left alone with someone that you have never met before.
- 4. Know where you’re going. If you’re headed off the beaten track or into an unfamiliar part of town, be sure you have directions and a GPS or map book.
- 5. If you feel unsafe, consult the person in charge and let him or her know.
- 6. Avoid wearing expensive jewellery: it could get damaged, lost or stolen.
- 7. Ask, ask, ask! If you’re worried about something or concerned about your safety in a certain situation, ask the person in charge.
