Catherine Robson Child and Youth Care Centre

Non-profit organisation.🤝
A place of safety, care & hope to 65+ children in the Vaal.🤍👫 Greetings Catherine Robson Management

The Catherine Robson Child and Youth Care Centre is situated in 1 Joubert Street, Vereeniging. This home was established during the 1950s to take in children in need of care and to take care of them. The Children’s Home provides a home for approximately 76 children between ages 4 and 18 years. The children link with local schools such as the Laerskool Handhawer, Hoërskool Gimnasium, Eureka and Krugerlaan School. The children’s normal needs are provided for, namely clothing, well-balanced meals, warm beds and recreation facilities such as television, a swimming pool and a well-equipped playground. Spiritually the children are encouraged to maintain a personal trusting relationship with the Lord Jesus. Group work and personal discussions are presented with the children by the social worker to address the heartache of the past and acquire new life skills. All the children in the children’s home are assigned to the care of the Children’s Home by means of a court order, amongst others due to poverty at their parental home, child neglect and maltreatment, death of parents and inability of parents to fulfill their obligations towards their children. The members of staff constantly strive to create a normal homely warm and loving environment for the children so that they can develop into balanced young adults. The staff attempt to create a feeling of self-worth and pride in spite of the negative backgrounds. Several congregations, individuals and businesses of the community are proud to be associated with the Children’s Home. Interested new friends of the Children’s Home are invited to visit us and become involved in this beautiful institution of the community. The need for especially weekend and holiday parents is always huge; hence the invitation to become involved and to make a difference in a child’s life.

Wie kry, vul die hand; wie gee, vul die hart. 🤍

’n Glimlag, ’n opregte drukkie, ‘n oomblik wat jou herinner hoekom dit so betekenisvol is om te gee.
“Dít is hoekom ons GEE,” vertel Ronel Koekemoer in ’n onderhoud by Catherine Robson Kinderhuis.

Gee wat jy kan. Gee hoe jy kan. Dit wat jy GEE maak 'n verskil.

“It takes a village to raise a child.” 🤍

En ons glo ’n sterk “village” word gebou deur mense wat kies om saam op te daag.

Aan ons gemeenskap, individue én besighede: ons nooi julle om deel te word van die “village” rondom die kinders in ons sorg. Of jy ’n donasie maak, finansieël bydra, benodighede skenk of van jou tyd gee - elke bydrae help ons om ’n veilige, ondersteunende en liefdevolle tuiste te bou waar kinders kan groei en in môre kan glo.

Jy hoef nie alles te doen nie, maar elkeen kan net iets doen.

We’re proud to introduce GIVE - a campaign created to turn everyday generosity into everyday care for the children who call our home, home.
Through this campaign, we’re inviting our Vaal community - individuals, families and businesses - to stand with us and help make these everyday moments possible.

What you GIVE can become so much more than a donation:
👫 It can become breakfast before school
👫 Clean bedding at the end of the day
👫 Toiletries, school supplies, transport and the practical support that helps create stability

You do not have to do everything; you just have to do something.
Give hope. Give support. Give a brighter future at Catherine Robson Children's Home.

'n tyd van GEE !!
🩵 Baie, baie dankie, Touching Lives Project! 💙

Ons kinders se gesiggies het behoorlik opgehelder toe elkeen sy eie warm slaapklere ontvang het. Die opgewondenheid was aansteeklik, en die beste deel was dat almal sommer daardie selfde aand met trots hul nuwe pajamas aangetrek en daarin gaan slaap het. 🥹❤️

Baie dankie dat julle nie net aan ons kinders gedink het nie, maar ook ons personeel bederf het met warm mussies. Julle vriendelikheid het hulle diep geraak, want hulle het glad nie verwag om ook so spesiaal behandel te word nie. 🩵

Sulke dade van liefde en omgee maak 'n wêreld se verskil. Julle het nie net warm klere geskenk nie – julle het warmte, vreugde en die gevoel gegee dat iemand omgee.

Van elke kind en elke personeellid by Catherine Robson kinder Huis: Baie, baie dankie! Julle word opreg waardeer, en ons sal hierdie mooi gebaar lank onthou. 💙

💙💛 A Mandela Day We Will Never Forget 💛💙

Our hearts are overflowing with gratitude after what has truly been one of the most memorable Mandela Days in the history of Catherine Robson Children's Home.

A very special thank you to Structa Training Structa Training Institute, who dedicated five months of planning, coordinating, and hard work to make this dream a reality. Their team repainted two of our four houses, gave our facilities a much-needed deep clean, transformed our main living room with fresh paint, and blessed us with brandnew couches and beautiful curtains. They also brought together incredible companies and volunteers to create a fun filled Mandela Day where our children enjoyed sports, face painting, laughter, and quality time with caring hearts.

We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to every organisation that partnered to make this day so special:

🎨 Dulux – for generously sponsoring all the paint and committing to checking in on us every year.🧼
Dulux Paint Centre
Unilever – for the wonderful donation of cleaning products.💙 Unilever
LACAM – thank you for your valued contribution.🛒
PathCare – for groceries, toiletries, and toys that brought so much joy.🏡 PathCare
Medscheme – for helping make our spaces even more beautiful with décor.🤝 Medscheme Vereeniging
The Giving Circle Foundation – for your kindness and support and sanitary products and treats.
🍕 Debonairs Three Rivers – for treating our children to delicious pizza. Debonairs Pizza Three Rivers
🥤 Regional Wholesale Services – for providing food and drinks for everyone to enjoy.

The smiles on our children's faces, the laughter that echoed through our home, and the memories created are priceless. Your generosity has helped us complete projects that we simply did not have the financial resources to undertake, and the impact of your kindness will be felt for years to come.

To every volunteer, donor, sponsor, and supporter who gave your time, resources, and love—thank you. You reminded our children that they are seen, valued, and deeply loved.

Together, you didn't just celebrate Mandela Day, you lived its message.

From all of us at Catherine Robson Children's Home, thank you for making a lasting difference. ❤️

Wrapped in Love ❤️

Elke kind by ons het ’n persoonlike gehekelde of gebreide kombers ontvang, met hul naam daarop. Soveel liefde, tyd en gebede is in elke steek van hierdie komberse ingeweef, en elke kombers is so uniek soos elkeen van ons kosbare kinders.

Baie dankie aan elke persoon wat ’n bydrae gemaak het, julle het nie net komberse gegee nie, maar warmte, liefde en ’n gevoel van behoort.

Ons kinders voel ekstra geliefd nadat hulle die spesiale boodskap agter hul persoonlike kombers gehoor het. Dankie dat julle deel is van ons dorp wat help om kinders veilig, warm en geliefd te laat voel. 💙
