Help Malvern CYCC Clear R535,567 Debt

Donate now to support 77 vulnerable children by helping us pay off our municipal arrears.

Our Story

For years, the Malvern Child and Youth Care Centre in Durban has been a lifeline for vulnerable children. However, we are currently facing a critical challenge: a crippling municipal debt. In 2019, we owed over R1 million, and through the generous support of our community, we managed to reduce it to R500k in 2020 and R216k in 2022. Despite our ongoing fundraising efforts, we've fallen short, and our municipal account is now in arrears of R535,567. This debt puts us at immediate risk of electricity and water disconnections, which would severely impact the lives of the 77 vulnerable children in our care. While a government grant provides partial support, we rely heavily on the kindness of community donations to bridge the funding gap. We urgently need your help to eliminate this debt and ensure a safe and stable environment for these children.

Your Impact

Your compassionate donation will directly contribute to the well-being of the children in our care by helping us manage essential water and electricity costs and ultimately clear our municipal debt:

  • R250 pays the water bill for 11 children for a day
  • R500 pays the electricity bill for 22 children for a day
  • R1,500 keeps the ligts on for all 77 children for a day
  • R5,000 reduces our municipal arrears, bringing us closer to stability.
