Education as part of health promotion and preventing harm to children. The Centre provides an out-reach schools health and prevention programme. Social Workers conduct information sessions at schools in the area to highlight risk and educate children on abuse and how to prevent abuse.
After-school Care Programme. The Centre accommodates approximately 100 children on a daily basis. The programme is a collaborative project between schools in the area and the Centre. Children identified as being at risk are enrolled in the Nonceba Programme. The programme aims to keep children safe and provide an environment for learning, recreation and safe play.
Community Awareness – Outreach. The organization belongs to a network, actively involved in campaigning against the abuse of women and children. Community awareness is a joint responsibility and jointly planned for. Efforts are combined to ensure uniformed messages are brought across.
Early Intervention Services
Counseling Service
Professional Staff (social workers and auxiliary social workers) provide counselling services (individual, family and marriage counselling). Approximately 350 – 400 people access the counselling service on a monthly basis.
Treatment/ Statutory Services
Therapeutic Counseling Clinic
Professional Staff provide therapeutic counseling services for women and children who have survived incidents of crime and trauma (rape, domestic violence, human trafficking, etc). The Centre provides support with accessing medical, psychological and legal counsel/ advice. Survivors are prepared and supported for the court process. Families of survivors are counseled and supported. Average length of stay is 3 – 6 months.
Safe-house for Children
Temporary, secure and safe accommodation is provided for children who have been removed via statutory process (Department of Social Development, Department of Health, and Department of Justice). Housemothers are employed to supervise the social, living space of the children while the Clinical team provides therapeutic intervention. Average length of stay is 3 – 6 months
Shelter for Women, women and children
Temporary, secure and safe accommodation is provided to women, and women and their children who have survived incidents of domestic violence and human trafficking. Therapeutic counseling is provided by the clinical team. Average length of stay is 3 months.
Reintegration Services
Planning for reintegration into the community forms part of clinical interventions and ‘care pathway’ for clients. Preparing for reintegration is managed by our clinical staff. Family counselling is essential to reintegration.
Low literacy and work skills levels presents challenges for promoting independence in women, especially women who have no external support (family/ otherwise). The organization provides a skills programme in beadwork, however funding is extremely limited. The organization needs to develop a strategy that addresses the need for capacitating women in work skills in order to promote independence.

MISSION STATEMENT
While everybody was keeping a lookout for little Sheldean Human, a special group of South Africans joined forces to provide not only emotional support to the family, but to assist in the physical search for Sheldean. The group consisted mostly of women, full time workers and housewives alike, but most importantly all of them united by empathy and compassion. If only little Sheldean could have had an opportunity to experience the massive outpouring of love and concern that swept across South Africa like a wave in the wake of her disappearance! Sheldean was wearing a pink shirt when she was abducted and, as a sign of respect and solidarity in their cause to find her, they chose to call themselves “The Pink Ladies”.
The Pink Ladies are an independent group of volunteers, across the Republic of South Africa, affiliated and associated with The Pink Ladies (as set out hereinbelow). The Pink Ladies will, upon request, work with any individual or organisation that has the same objectives – reuniting missing and endangered children and loved ones with their families and/or caregivers.
The valuable service provided by The Pink Ladies is strictly voluntary and performed for the love of children everywhere in South Africa, regardless of colour, creed or circumstance. Much of the Pink Ladies’ work is done at ground level and for this reason they request that the public and media respect their anonymity. They too have loved ones and families and wish to afford them the privacy they deserve.
COMPANY PROFILE
The Pink Ladies is an NGO (Section 21), duly registered in accordance with the Company Laws of the Republic of South Africa.

WHO WE ARE
The National Institute for the Deaf (NID) is a dynamic, non-profit organisation and the only facility in South Africa and Africa that provides the full continuum of services to the Deaf from the cradle to the grave.
For centuries the outcry of Deaf people all over the world has been “We can do anything but hear, so treat us as ‘normal’ human beings.” This outcry led to the establishment of the Institute for the Deaf in 1881 in Worcester.
NID is one of the oldest and largest constituency organisations and resource centres safeguarding and promoting the interests, human rights and wellbeing of Deaf people throughout South Africa and Africa.
WHAT WE DO
The world of the Deaf is a silent world, confined to the limits of vision and therefore isolated as a result of communication barriers. Our main objective is to help the Deaf to help themselves. We strive to empower Deaf people to attain their full potential and take their rightful place as responsible citizens of South Africa.
DEPARTMENTS:
NID Services: Enquiries about persons with hearing loss. Deaf Adult Care: Lewensruimte, a mini-village comprising group homes and protective workshops for Deaf adults with multiple disabilities. Deaf Elderly Care: Two old age homes, Shalom in Worcester and Rusoord in Bellville. NID College: Occupational skills training for young Deaf adults. Training of Deaf spiritual workers: Deaf Christian Ministry Africa (DCMA). Business Training Units: Tea Garden and Garden Centre.
OUTONOMOUS DEPARTMENTS

Centre of Knowledge: DeafNET.
The NID follows a holistic approach in education and training, health and spiritual care and offers a wide spectrum of services, including:
processing numerous inquiries from the general public regarding, deafness, Deaf communities in South Africa, Deaf culture, Deaf heritage and Sign Language, promoting Deaf awareness and other topics and issues that affect the lives of people with hearing loss.
identifying issues critical to people with hearing loss, setting priorities, analysing policy options, making recommendations and taking positions in conjunction with the Deaf communities as well as South African and global experts.
offering expertise in areas such as education, employment, rehabilitation, care, health care, mental health, leadership development, training, accessibility and technology to Deaf people in South Africa and Africa.
administration of fundraising and funding of all departments of the NID.
early identification, assessment as well as the provision of hearing aids and assistive devices

The Chaeli Campaign was founded on 6 August 2004 by five girls between the ages of 6 and 12. Chaeli Mycroft, her sister (Erin) and lifelong friends, the Terry sisters (Tarryn, Justine and Chelsea) started The Chaeli Campaign to raise R20 000 for Chaeli’s motorised wheelchair. They managed to do this in 7 weeks by selling cards with Erin & Chaeli’s artwork on them and Sunshine Pots (DIY miniature pot plants).
Although Chaeli is the face of The Chaeli Campaign the spirit on which this organisation is based is the teamwork that exists amongst the five founding members.
Our Vision is to mobilise the minds and bodies of children with disabilities and to normalise society through advocacy and education programmes and events.
The Objectives of The Chaeli Campaign are to:
Promote and provide the mobility and educational needs of disabled children under the age of eighteen years, throughout South Africa; Use its facilities and resources to assist the disabled community in any way it sees fit; Work in collaboration with other organisations for the advancement of the disabled community; Act as a facilitator to other centres / organisations / communities in Africa. The Chaeli Campaign aims to change the life of one disabled child at a time in a significant way.

The CHILDREN’S RADIO FOUNDATION gives young people the tools and skills to make their voices heard.
With over 50 youth radio projects across five African countries, we work with radio stations and youth organizations to create opportunities for youth dialogue, leadership, social engagement, and action.
Through radio broadcasts, young people speak about their concerns and reach out to their peers and wider audiences about the issues they face.
What We Do
CRF’s journey began in South Africa in 2007 with the idea that radio is an important tool for youth empowerment in Africa. We now have over 1000 CRF-trained youth radio reporters at 50 project sites in 5 countries who broadcast shows in for youth in their community on a weekly basis in 25 local languages.
CRF’s UNIQUE APPROACH TO TRAINING
䄏 IDENTIFY a local site, radio station, and community organization partner. 䄏 TRAIN community members to work as project leaders and mentors. 䄏 TRAIN youth to research, produce, and broadcast radio shows. 䄏 CREATE ongoing youth-oriented radio shows that address important issues in the community, and stimulate dialogue among youth. 䄏 SUPPORT projects with resources, production tips, monitoring and evaluation, and monthly newsletters. 䄏 CONNECT youth through an online audio sharing platform so they can exchange content, interact, and learn from each other.
Why Radio?
RADIO IS EASY TO LEARN. Radio requires minimal technical expertise. Young people are able to learn production and broadcast skills quickly.
RADIO IS UNIVERSAL IN AFRICA. In 2011, only 6.2% of Africans logged on to the internet. Over 80% of people in Africa have regular access to a radio, making it a crucial source of information.
RADIO IS FLEXIBLE AND PORTABLE. Radio projects are suited to all settings, even remote, isolated areas where electricity is not readily available.
RADIO PROJECTS ARE INEXPENSIVE. In 2011, an operating budget of approximately $620,000USD enabled us to reach millions of youth on the African continent.
