All Children have the absolute right to a healthy life.

Children must thrive so they can develop to their full potential and become useful members of society when adults.

All of South Africa’s children must at all times have access to the best possible medical care. A sick child must be able to see a top class doctor or a specialist when needed, receive their vaccinations, receive medical treatment and surgeries if they are sick and not just be put on a mysterious “list” or are lost in a non functioning medical system, just to receive substandard medical treatment in many cases if they are lucky and no treatment at all if unlucky.

The right to a healthy life includes food security and clean drinking water.

Pediatric Care Africa provides lifesaving assistance and hope to less fortunate children in our local communities throughout South Africa and neighboring Countries.

Furthermore in the event of any disasters, natural or manmade, we at Pediatric care Africa respond to that disaster immediately throughout South Africa and Africa to render assistance.

Extreme heat and 3.6 tons of food to 150 families! Extreme heat and 3.6 tons of food to 150 families!

We had a very early start on Tuesday 12th January as we had to deliver 3.6tons of food to Brondal, Msholozi and Katoen as our first major food delivery of 2021 to persons with food insecurity.
 
The words “Food insecurity” sounds so benign, but very often means hungry people and people that have little or no other food than the food parcels we manage to deliver to them. December was tough on many persons as many children didn’t get food at school during this time, and with many parents unable to find a job or any source of income.
 
Feeding our children is critically important as children will not develop well or thrive if they do not receive enough food and it is really as simple as that. Every human have the right to food and children especially so!
 
Thanks to a generous grant from the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) we were able to feed hundreds of family’s in our communities, as without them that would not have been possible.
 
Today a total of 150 families received food parcels of 28kg per family consisting of a dry food parcel containing rice, tins of food, sugar etc and a bag of 12.5kg maize meal and finally a bag of vegetables and a dozen eggs each.
The requests and demand for food and medical assistance is growing fast as more and more people simply can’t make ends meet anymore.
 
We at Pediatric care Africa is grateful that we are able to assist our communities in distress and need during this tough times.
 
Stay safe, wear your mask and take care of each other.
Full steam ahead! Many parents simply don’t hav Full steam ahead!

Many parents simply don’t have money anymore to buy food for their children, and we are happy to help with baby food and nappies if we can.
 
We reopened on the 4th January and got busy immediately supplying baby food to parents in need and arranging Doctors’ visits to children.
 
2021 is predicted and expected to be a very busy year for us and our first major food distribution for 2021 is scheduled for Tuesday the 12th and Thursday the 14th January where 200 food parcels and 200 bags of maize meal will be delivered to persons in need. 
A smaller delivery of 50 food parcels to be delivered on Friday 15th January. This means a total of 250 large food parcels and 250 bags of 12.5kg maizemeal to be delivered by us over those three days.
 
6.25 tons of food in 3 days to be delivered to people just like you and I, with the only difference being that they have no food.

Storm alert - Preparing for Chalane! Having cause Storm alert - Preparing for Chalane!

Having caused massive flooding and heavy winds and killing 26 people in Madagascar a Tropical storm named Chalane is currently forecast to hit Mozambique on Wednesday 30th December 2020 at Beira.
 
This is the same city that was devastated by Cyclone Idai two years ago.
 
Some predictions including Global disaster Alert and coordination system, indicate that it could become a Tropical Cyclone with a speed of 120km per hour and could bring severe rainfall to the Provinces of Sofala, Manica, Zambezia and Inhambane and is expected to proceed towards Zimbabwe and Botswana.
 
We at Pediatric care Africa is closely monitoring this weather development and will respond to assist people affected if needed or asked to do so.
 
Should the need arise we will supply medical assistance, search and recovery assistance and 3 tons basic food supplies to assist persons injured or made homeless by this storm as an initial response.
 
Lets hope the winds calm and storm Chalane quiets down before landfall.
Father Christmas and 112 tons of food! Father Chri Father Christmas and 112 tons of food!
Father Christmas was very busy handing out presents to all the boys and girls at Soli deo Gloria care centre in Lydenburg today.
 
The kids were very excited to see father Christmas appearing in their dining room without them knowing, and every child received two presents and a beautiful story book each, as they were all very well behaved throughout the year and deserving of something special.
The excitement in their eyes was awesome to see and made our day and even father Christmas didn’t mind wearing his very hot Lapland or is it Northpole suit in the middle of summer….😉
Making sure everyone is well fed over the festive season we delivered just a dash over 2 tons of foodstuff to Soli deo Gloria including a few hundred kilograms of fresh chicken from Alwyn Viljoen of Matumani Chicken and lots of clothing donated by Steelwings Lowveld MC, who also went with to help with the hard labour and assisting Father Christmas.
So many people made this very special time of the year possible and a special thanks must go to GB2C and Food Forward.
GIVING BACK 2 our COMMUNITY (GB2C) was started by Crossing Shopping Centre Nelspruit during the centre’s 16th Birthday in October last year. Several local businesses form part of GB2C including BUCO Hardware.Buildware, Nelspruit, Caltex/Omar Family, Mica Nelspruit, Crossing SuperSpar Nelspruit and the Visagie Groep amongst others.
GB2C your support is invaluable to us and we wish to thank you once again, for your very needed and continued support as thanks to you, every person living in Katoen and the many local persons in food distress have enough food during the festive season.
All the kind persons that filled sweetie packs for children at Crossing SuperSpar in Nelspruit on the 20th November, we are happy to report that every single sweetie pack has been handed to its rightful child owner. Thank you very much once again, and we hope to see you again next Christmas in front of Spar.
A total of 187 presents was handed out to children, all thanks to your kindness. Merry Christmas to all off you and we at Pediatric Care Africa wishes you a very Merry Christmas and may you prosper in 2021.
Food for Christmas! Our food delivery today got o Food for Christmas!

Our food delivery today got off to a slow start due to heavy rain that we are very grateful for as things have been rather dry lately with much less rainfall than expected. We had a quick 30ml rain which was totally unexpected. A few hours behind schedule we manage to deliver all IDC sponsored food parcels to Katoen and Kabokweni just to rush back to load 2 tons for delivery in Lydenburg first thing tomorrow morning. I was told that Father Christmas is apparently also heading to Lydenburg tomorrow to hand out presents to all the Children living at Soli deo Gloria. What a coincidence…..
 
Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) made this Christmas food parcels possible due to their R427000-00 food grant to us. 250 Families totalling 1500 people received their food parcels so far and a quick math calculation works out to 10 tons of food if every family received 40kg of food and vegetables.
 
Full tummies for Christmas with no hungry children.
 
Awesome!! #pcahero #childreninneed ##nonprofit #charity #bethechange #philantrophy #charitableging
6 weeks old boy received successful Surgery! An e 6 weeks old boy received successful Surgery!

An early Christmas present for this now 6 week old little boy’s parents, who underwent successful surgery to his pylorus muscle, after being diagnosed with Pyloric Stenosis and who urgently required a surgery called Pyloromyotomy.
 
He had an electrolyte imbalance as well and received fluid replacement before surgery could be scheduled.
 
We just heard that his surgery was successful and that is great news as our little boy can now grow up to be a healthy normal child.
 
Mom and Dad, we are very happy for you that your little boy is on his way home again very soon.
 
Thank you Dr’s Reinecke and Botha for all your help with our little boy. #pcahero #childreninneed ##nonprofit #charity #bethechange #philantrophy #charitableging
Another 4 tons of food delivered!! Today we deliv Another 4 tons of food delivered!!

Today we delivered 4 tons of food parcels to 100 families in Magalela informal settlement near White river, and this was all made possible by the generous food grant given to us by IDC (Industrial Development Corporation).
 
A very happy crowd gathered ID’s in hand and masks on their faces to collect their 40kg of food for each family, as part of our Covid 19 festive season food drive to ensure no child or parent goes and sleep hungry over the Christmas period.
 
The spray can of Mosquito repellent in the parcels was a very big hit with everyone, as the mosquitos have been very active after the recent rain.
 
IDC, your food grant gave many people food to eat for the next few weeks, and on their behalf we at Pediatric care Africa thank you very much.
 
Andre, Kevin and Sarel from Steelwings Lowveld MC worked very hard today, offloading food and ensuring every person receives their food parcels. Thank you Gentleman and I hope you are not too stiff tomorrow after the hard labour?
 
We are delivering our last food parcels and bulk food on Monday and Tuesday, then we are done for this year of 2020. #pcahero #childreninneed ##nonprofit #charity #bethechange #philantrophy #charitableging #industrialdevelopmentcorporation #covid_19
Pediatric care Africa will be closed from the 21st Pediatric care Africa will be closed from the 21st December 2020 until the 4th January 2021 as our staff and volunteers need a little break. We wish all of you a very merry Christmas and may 2021 be your best year ever. Thank you very much for all your great support in 2020.🎇
We are going big this festive season as we receive We are going big this festive season as we received a very generous R427 000-00 food grant from IDC (Industrial Development Corporation) that goes towards the Covid-19 Relief project to assist people in food distress during the festive season and beyond.
 
Each of the 100 families that received their food parcels at Brondal today received a total of 40kg of food each to last each family to January 2021.
 
100 delivered, 400 to go!
 
Each family received 2 x 12kg food parcels, one with dry food and the other with goodies such as sanitary pads, mosquito repellent, vitamins, toilet paper, tooth paste, coffee, tea etc. On top of that each person received a 12.5 kg bag of maize meal and 3 large cabbages and vegetables.
 
We were joined by a number of representatives of IDC in Brondal and they impressed us with their work ethic, as they immediately became part of our Pediatric care Africa team and helped with admin and security checks as that is of critical importance to prevent any form of cheating.
 
As we handed out our last food parcel and snapped our last photograph a very welcome thunderstorm made sure we are all nice and wet.
 
Thank you Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) for your absolutely awesome and very welcome food grant, but also for your physical assistance today and by helping to make our first food distribution a great success.
 
We will ensure that every grain of food is accounted for and that every eligible person receive his/her food parcels on time, every time.

With 2020 almost on its back, Pediatric care Africa honoured all the persons who assisted us, donated to us, gave their time to us and who made it possible for us at Pediatric care Africa to help thousands of people during 2020 and especially during Covid lockdown, by spoiling everyone who could make it to a lunch at our offices.
 
Lambs and a Weaner on the Spit, made to perfection by the “Master chefs of Steelwings Lowveld MC” was enjoyed by everyone.
 
People do so much for us, we wanted to say thank you in a small way by having a lunch in honour of each and every person that made it possible for us to help our Community.
 
For our benefactors that couldn’t make it in person, we thank you for all you have done for us and we at Pediatric care Africa wishes you all a blessed Holiday season, a Merry Christmas and we hope that 2021 will treat you well.

After this little girl called “Sami” that suffers from Neuroblastoma was seen and thoroughly examined by Dr Carine Smit a very respected Paediatrician at Mediclinic in Nelspruit, we were advised to seek urgent help for her in Pretoria at a facility that have a specialist Child Oncologist as there is no Child Oncologist available in Nelspruit.
 
Sami will require the services of a number of specialists and we at Pediatric care Africa is going to do whatever we can to help this helpless little girl.
 
Her treatment will run into hundreds of thousands of Rands and will take months at a time, therefore we are appealing to the public and Companies for assistance with her medical costs to enable us to help her.

TWK Agri is an iconic institution, in the South African agricultural landscape and operates over a wide geographical area of Mpumalanga, KwaZulu-Natal, Eastern Cape, Western Cape, Free State, Limpopo and Gauteng. 
 
We received this very welcome and generous donation from TWK Agri in Nelspruit, and it was handed over to us by Michael Clemente and Dimpho Malapana to assist us with medical care for children.
 
It is the generosity of organizations such as TWK that makes it possible for us to help children in South Africa and this donation will be used to assist a 2 year old who suffers from Neuroblastoma in her head and face.
 
Neuroblastoma is the most common malignant (cancerous) extracranial solid  tumour of childhood and this little person is going to need intensive surgical and oncological treatment.
 
She is starting her long journey on Thursday morning with Dr Smit a well know Paediatrician at Mediclinic in Nelspruit, who will do her initial medical assessment and advise us and the parents on the best way forward.
 
TWK Agri, you gave a little person a chance and for that we thank you very much.
Last week of November! As the end of 2020 is near Last week of November!

As the end of 2020 is nearing, I have to admit that I for one, won’t be too sad to see the end of it as this was a challenging year for all of us.
 
Our second load of food to the farmers in Hertzogville in the Free state was delivered this week, and that was made possible thanks to Pick n Pay Family White River who gave a very generous donation to the people effected by the veld fires in the Free state. Thank you very much Gerrit and Pick n Pay.
 
Closer to home, the young boy that had his eye surgery a few weeks ago got the all clear from Dave Kenyon, a well-known Optometrist (Dave Kenyon Optometrists) in Crossings shopping Centre in Nelspruit and our boy is now ready for life as a normal sighted person.
 
It is fantastic when a child’s life is permanently changed for the better.
 
And I mustn’t forget to mention, that we at Pediatric care Africa have now delivered 100 000kg or 100tons of food to persons in need, during Covid lockdown which is absolutely AMAZING!.
 
We have a very exciting Christmas season planned and ahead of us and we are very excited… #pcahero #childreninneed #nonprofit #charity ##bethechange #philantropy #charitablegiving

Farther Christmas dusted of his boots, combed his beard and reported for duty at Crossing Nelspruit shoppingcentre as we held our “Build a Sweetie pack” collection day, whereby we ask shoppers at the Crossing Superspar Nelspruit to fill a bag of sweeties of their choice, for the child whose name and age is on the packet and drop it in our donation box.
 
These fantastic sweetie packs will be distributed together with Christmas presents, to the children who’s names are on the packets on the 16th December in White River when the Pumas rugby team mascot and some Puma rugby players will join Father Christmas to hand out these packets of sweets we collected and presents to all the well behaved children.
 
The children in Lydenburg will receive their presents and sweetie packs later in December according to our Father Christmas “informant” who claims to know Father Christmas personally.
 
Thanks to the generosity of the People of Nelspruit we managed to collect a sweetie pack for every single child on our Christmas list….!
 
To all the very generous people shopping at Crossing SuperSpar Nelspruit, we wish to thank you very much for your generosity and spirit of giving, as children’s dreams will come true thanks to you.
