Little Angels is a rehabilitative, residential care center for 16 severely disabled children offering solace, treatment and care to these special children, nestled under Gods wing.
As a result of the severity of their brain damage and resulting physical disabilities, these children need 24/7 individual care, as they cannot perform any or very limited self-help functions. They have to be fed, bathed, dressed, and they all wear nappies. Their ages range from 1 year to 22 years.
The facility offers holistic care, and the staff a highly motivated to provide the children’s needs – physical, emotional, medical care and therapy. Each child follows a physio- and occupational therapy program on a daily basis, which has been individually and uniquely worked out under the guidance of qualified therapists from Scenesio, who give our staff on-the-job training. The staff work according to a roster, as the children require care around the clock.
Daycare is also offered for children with disabilities and you can contact Anne Jacobs on 021 8510908 or 0797734348 for further information or to secure a placement for your child for 2012.
In July 2011, Little Angels underwent a change in middle management and various changes have followed since the appointment of Anne Jacobs as Operational Manger and Gina Raubenheimeras supervisor. The daily routine was re-assessed and the center now operates according to the principals of the La Vie Training and the whole approach is more holistic. Including the various therapies, stimulation programs, alternative communication and much more. Due to vast networking endeavors, 2012 also has many exciting changes in store so watch this space!
All this is very costly and Little Angels is 96 % dependent on donations and sponsorships (financially and in kind), from the business sector and private individuals.The past 6 years have seen no funding from government and therefore we are at the mercy of the corporates and individuals on the street to help us offer the much needed care for these special children.
With the season of giving around the corner, everybody can make a big difference in 16 children’s lives by helping in the following ways:
- Donation of one of the following items: food, toiletries, cleaning materials, medical supplies, clothing, toys with movement / lights /noise, musical equipment.
- Sponsor a child for therapy or school fees.
- Sponsor an employee’s wages.
- Sponsor a tank of petrol, water/electricity account or any of the daily running costs.
- Become a volunteer and spend time with the children, playing, reading books, feeding them, etc. This is a commitment with great rewards.
No donation is too big or small and every donation / sponsorship that you might make towards the care of these very vulnerable group of children is greatly appreciated. Little Angels is a Section 18a company, BBBEE accredited and is registered as a NPO and PBO, therefore any donation you make is tax deductible.
Little Angels also sell the Helen Harper range of nappies, which are imported from Belgium. The nappies are of a very high quality and are extremely reasonably priced. If you order nappies, they will be delivered to your door and a percentage of the monies paid will go towards Little Angels to cover the essential running costs.
