Childrens Need/Household goods
Cause: Abraham Kriel Maria Kloppers Children's Home
Approximate Total Cost: R 1220.00
Province: Gauteng
At the children’s home we have a “Dream Box” where kids can express their personal wishes.  Most of these would be for a CD player or a bicycle or a Barbie doll.  We make no promises, but whenever an appropriate gift comes the way of the home, we will keep in mind the child who asked for it.
Stuff We Need
Baby products - R 50.00
At the Maria Kloppers Children’s Haven we have 15 babies on an average.  Most of them are tiny and very often not strong.  We can only use NAN 1 to feed them. We need things like formula milk: NAN 1
Cleaning materials - R 150.00
Help keep the children’s environment, healthy, clean and fresh.
Educational toys - R 100.00
Children develop in relation to the stimulation they receive.  At the Johanna Malan Early Childhood Development Centre, they receive quite a lot of stimulation.  They have a range of educational toys and creative corners.  But then some of them go home to a children’s home or another disadvantaged environment, where attention and material goods are in equally short supply
Food that we would like to get - R 120.00
Sugar
Rice
Pasta
Coffee
Breakfast Cereal
Spreads for sandwiches
Household Goods - R 200.00
We need big pots, pans and dishes for cooking for a household of between 15 – 20 people on a daily basis can be quite a challenge.  The right utensils make a big difference. When we receive goods that are too small for the big households in our residential care facilities, we can always distribute it to the struggling households of Aids orphans, where older siblings take on responsibility for entire families.
School stationary - R 100.00
Children at school need all kinds of pens, colouring pencils, rulers, examination pads, glue sticks, calculators and every other type of stationary.  This is very costly in any household. Imagine the cost if you have to provide for 200 school going children.
Second Hand Clothing - R 300.00
What the children cannot use will be sold to poor people from the surrounding community, which helps them to survive.
 
We are also looking for Boys Clothes from the age 6 to 13.
 
Pyjamas and New Uderwear for all the children of all ages.
Sporting equipment - R 150.00
A number of children in our children’s home excel in sport.  Through sport they can get access to opportunities that they otherwise would not have. Things like Rugby togs in good condition.
Storybooks/encyclopedias - R 50.00
Modern storybooks for the children. Something they can identify with for them to read.
 
Children in children’s homes do not have access to the internet to do their school assignments.  Other sources of information are vital.
Toiletries - R 100.00
Good grooming is important to the self image of every person.  In their teenage years, our kids are particularly vulnerable in this regard.  They want to look and feel “cool”.  It is often skin products in particular that they need and that can make all the difference. Things like Rollon, Soup etc
