Give Like They’re Yours this Festive Season

​Many parents would give anything to have their kids at home sneaking a peek at presents or decorating the Christmas tree - but unfortunately, they’ll be spending this Christmas in hospital or at orphanages. 

​Give like they’re yours and #ServeLikeMadiba by donating to The Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund or The Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital. 

Five Ways to Donate:

1. Support The Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital Gift Shop
Everyone loves a good gift and The #NMCH gift shop has the coolest presents for your loved ones, including lunch bags, hoodies and jewelry.

2. Buy a Book

​Is there anything better than relaxing with a book this festive season?
We have a range of books in which we endorsed and receive a donation from. 
Paintbrush’s Colour Book
Twin sisters Aimeé Serrão and Candace Bosch are passionate about the youth, their country, and bringing a smile to children's faces. Through a proudly South African children’s book called “Paintbrush’s Colour”, Aimeé and Candace hope to spread positivity while educating the youth in a fun and inspiring way. 

“Paintbrush's Colour" has educational questions at the end of the book where children can learn the Big 5, the five national symbols and more!

A Dream Realised
‘How can there be only one dedicated hospital in the country for our children?’ When Madiba asked this question, he sowed the seeds of a challenge that would grow into a legacy.

The stories behind the planning for, fundraising and building of the Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital are inspiring, personal, and sometimes heart-breaking. It was a long and arduous journey, beset with difficulties, but the dedicated team’s commitment and courage prevailed to create a living legacy that will truly impact the lives of children for generations to come.
