Melkbos Care Centre
Children in Cape Town

The Melkbos Care Centre is a registered non-profit/charity organisation assisting vulnerable, under privileged and orphaned children residing in Melkbosstrand, in the Western Cape.The children come to the Centre daily to receive a warm meal, for some this may be the only warm meal for the day, a warm bath and clean clothes for school the next day.  We also provide transport to and from school, and the support structure needed to complete homework assignments and projects.The Ubunye Sponsor a Child project was established to ensure that these children were afforded a good education (all children have now been successfully enrolled into schools) and is dedicated to improving their care and educational opportunities.  We believe a good education is the key to success and a better future.There are currently 34 children enrolled on the Ubunye sponsor a Child project.We would greatly appreciate your help in the form of food or financial assistance to help with monthly expenses.

Extra lessons and extra mural activities like soccer, dancing, art, pottery, swimming, kumon maths etc. The Melkbos Care Centre is a registered non-profit care facility for children. The Centre is not government funded or subsidised and relies solely on the donations of individuals, companies and organisations to provide the care free of charge to these underprivileged children. We are a registered NPO, with PBO status and we are also registered with the Department of Social Services. We provide our services to orphaned and underprivileged children, many of whom live in homes affected by HIV Aids and substance abuse. Our services are a life line to many of the children who attend the Centre, whose parents/guardians are unable or unwilling to provide for the needs of their children.
