Cooperation with Department of Social Development and Department of Justice

Elonwabeni Child and Family Centre works closely with the Department of Social Development. We only take children upon referral by Government institutions. The children placed in our care are placed in our care through legal channels - within 24 hours of placement, they are committed to our care by the Courts. The Department of Justice makes a monthly contribution for each child placed in our care, for the period of their stay.

Act of Grace and Südafrika und AIDS has an active partnership, making Act of Grace 35 the exclusive partner for Südafrika und AIDS here in South Africa.
