Donation Link

We now have the facility to receive online donations. These are processed via a secure online payment system called Payfast which accepts most credit and debit cards (SA and international).

You can click on this link and this will take you to our Payfast cause page where you can donate. Enter your donation amount in the box (the value will be in South African Rand) and you will be taken to a page where you can pay with your credit card or internet banking. If you are an international donor you can use the credit card facility for Visa or Mastercard (current exchange rates are here)

All payments go directly into the ECYCC ABSA bank account from which all day-to-day running costs of the home are paid. If you would like to specify that your donation is used for a particular project we can make provision for this.

If you have any questions on donating please email us (emm.childrenshome@gmail.com) and we'll your questions. We will happily provide a written receipt for donations. ECYCC accounts are audited annually as part of the Department of Social Development's requirements for maintaining non-profit organisation status.

All donations, big or small, are gratefully received and make a massive difference to the lives of the children we care for. 


New Volunteers

Some more things we are grateful in recent weeks...
Firstly, we're very grateful for big donation we received: R23,200 from the company Goldee Trading 174 CC2. The contact person for the company was Hester (a local born and bred in Middelburg) and she suggested that they should donate to ECYCC this time around. Thank you so much! The funds help us to pay for important day-to-day costs essential to the running of the home: electricity, care-worker salaries, food etc.

Secondly, we would like to welcome new volunteers to the home: Petra and Maria from Germany. They have settled in really quickly and are making a great difference to the children's lives with their kindness and enthusiasm. We've very glad to have them with us! Here's some of their recent photos...
