A printer can go a long way to help a children’s home carry out its daily tasks of looking after the young ones.
Life was made easier for The Love of Christ Children’s Home (TLC), based in Eikenhof, when it received a multi-functional printer from Develop South Africa, a Bidvest company.
Established by the Jarvis family in 1993, TLC’s mission is to care for any baby that has been abandoned or orphaned.
The organisation believes that every child has the right to a loving family, so it is committed to finding a home for all the children in its care. In addition to employing permanent staff, TLC relies on volunteers who assist in the education and supervision of the children in its care.
Since its inception, the orphanage has cared for and enabled the placement of over 800 babies through adoption. A few have even been reunited with their biological parents.
The Jarvis family itself has adopted 19 children who were not placed in adoptive homes.
“Develop South Africa was eager to support TLC’s wonderful work within the community in any way possible. We were able to provide the orphanage with an Ineo+ 452, an all-round colour MFP that offers quality print-outs, is cost effective to own and fits seamlessly into any workflow, as it is designed for convenience,” said Marc Pillay, CEO at Develop South Africa.
“The machine will be used for TLC children’s homework projects and help the staff with admin tasks, such as printing brochures and proposals and scanning presentations and important documentation. Ultimately, it will help them continue to carry out the great work they do,” Pillay adds. “We are delighted that we can make a small difference in the children’s lives. We are also very grateful to the commitment of our dealer, Develop Mentors, who will continually maintain the machine,” he said.
