Help Care Bear Gauteng make a difference

Care Bear Gauteng Safe House for Abandoned and Abused Babies and Toddlers, in Elsburg, offers a place of safety to abused, orphaned and neglected children in Germiston.

The home, at 22 Joubert Street, was established last year and is managed by Zenobia Venter.

“The home currently accommodates six children at a time, ranging from newborn to five year olds.

“Care Bear Gauteng’s main focus is to nurture and protect abandoned children who have been let go by their parents for many different reasons and help them get adopted so that they may have a better life,” said Venter, the house mother at Care Bear Gauteng.

Though the home has credited the community with helping them overcome many things in the past they are appealing to residents and local business to open their hearts and help the organisation raise the funds needed to get a bigger property, as well as additional funds to help improve their current infrastructure.

“The bigger property would allow us to accommodate more children in need, for a longer time.

“Improving our infrastructure will improve the quality of life of the children in our care,” said Venter.

The home thanked Happy’s Biltong, in Elsburg, for kick-starting the collection with a donation of R2 000.

If you are interested in donating to the home call Venter on 078 174 1408 or Annelie Johnson on 072 252 7296, alternatively send an email to carebeargauteng@gmail.com.
