Health | Healing | Hope for children who suffer from serious, rare or complicated childhood diseases

28/05/2026

This month we celebrate 3 years of Siyavuka for Kids — three years of hope, compassion, advocacy and action for children facing cancer, blood disorders, rare diseases and other complex medical conditions in the Eastern Cape.

“Siyavuka” means “We rise” — and over the past three years, we have seen what is possible when a community rises together. From supporting the Paediatric Oncology and Haematology Unit at P.E. Provincial Hospital in Gqeberha to working towards the dream of a dedicated Children’s Hospital and Centre of Excellence, every step has been made possible by the generosity, care and belief of our supporters.

To every donor, partner, medical professional, volunteer and friend of Siyavuka for Kids: thank you for rising with us.

Here’s to the children we serve, the families we walk beside, and the future we continue to build — together.

We rise. For hope. For healing. For every child.

Strong healthcare starts with informed, empowered teams.

In this video, Sharon McCarthy, Head of Central Clinic, shares her perspective on the Siyavuka for Kids training and why it is so important for every nurse to be equipped to identify the early signs of childhood cancer.

Her insights highlight the vital role clinics play on the frontline — and how building knowledge across entire teams can lead to earlier referrals, better outcomes, and ultimately, more lives saved.
