Push the Pram

All Children have the absolute right to a healthy life.

We provide care and bear witness to the overcoming of barriers to health and to the realization of the right to health for all.

Everyone should have access to health care, without financial, social, cultural, or geographical barriers.

All of South African’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 without exception.

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

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.

Pediatric care Africa delivers on our promise we made to children to give them a chance to live and florish.

We appreciate you and your efforts a lot.
Toddlers and babies! A new month and on Friday th Toddlers and babies!

A new month and on Friday the first of a number of children in different areas of Mbombela in food distress, received their bi-weekly or monthly food, consisting of Nido, Cerelac, baby milk, A+pap and veggies for soup depending on their ages.
 
This is a ongoing and a huge task to prevent our children from going hungry or become food stunted, and without the kind and continuous assistance from companies we will fail dismally.
 
We wish to thank Crossing Shopping Centre- Nelspruit, the centre that is the #myheartbeat of Nelspruit, that continues to supports Pediatric Care Africa and the on-going medical and healthcare outreach done by Dr Andre Hattingh, the Pediatric Care Africa Team and the many medical professionals and volunteers involved. As the saying goes, “It takes a village to bring up a child” and Crossing Centre’s commitment to the Lowveld community – and Pediatric Care Africa – is testament to this.
The regular support from Crossing Centre in Nelspruit, has saved many children from hunger and enable them to receive medical treatment and on behalf of the little ones we could assist, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

You are our hero…!
Unfortunately we have to postpone our 2022 2500km Unfortunately we have to postpone our 2022 2500km tractor ride, to July 2022 due to the fact that we failed to obtain a tractor sponsorship in time for our scheduled ride. We apologise sincerely for any inconvenience caused due to the postponement. See you on the road in July!!🚜
Time for Easter bunnies!!! We are rushing to get Time for Easter bunnies!!!

We are rushing to get the last sick kids to the Doctor and baby food to babies and toddlers before the long Easter weekend.
 
Thank you Neil, the orthotist at Kiaat Hospital and Dr Corne Ackerman for always helping the children we bring to you.

"Poverty is a very complicated issue, but feeding and helping a child isn't."

Thank you for my full tummy!!! We are able to fee Thank you for my full tummy!!!

We are able to feed a large number of babies, toddlers and younger children on a sustainable basis and supply them with age appropriate food and nappies, thanks to the very kind support of GB2C.
 
With almost half of our population unemployed, food insecurity is a reality and starvation is something that no child must ever be forced to experience.
 
This very welcome donation we received are from the local Lowveld initiative, GIVING BACK 2 our COMMUNITY (GB2C), that was started by Crossing Nelspruit during the centre’s 16th Birthday in October last year. Several local businesses form part of GB2C including BUCO South Africa, the Tom le Roux Family, the Omar Family, Caltex Mpumalanga North, Valencia Wholesalers, Valencia - The Home Of VBike, Crossing SuperSpar Nelspruit, and the Visagie Groep amongst others.
 
How awesome when a child can sleep peacefully and with full tummies, knowing that someone cares about them….

Our CEO, Dr. Andre is an accomplished author of a Our CEO, Dr. Andre is an accomplished author of a number of books and research papers.

In 2014 Dr. Andre concluded and completed a research paper on "Prevalence of Salmonella typhi and paratyphi infected children in the Democratic republic of Congo".

In 2016 he wrote a 187 page textbook on the "Guidelines for Neonatal care and Neonatal care units" which was translated into French for use in French speaking African Countries.
On a much lighter note he wrote a children's book called "Buzz radio" a book about two malaria mosquito's that is interviewed by a radio personality called "Mr Cricket" about malaria and during their interview, they explain malaria to children and their parents in a way that small children can understand and as only a mosquito can explain it.

Recently Dr. Andre completed a superbly written cook book, which is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face named "Cooking with Doc" in which he shares 104 of his favourite recipes. Doc Andre, has a very humoristic style of writing and write stories on where and how he got hold of some of his recipes, and does not blink about poking fun at politics and people. Doc Andre is well known for his love of food and considers himself an amateur foodie. Doc Andre always joke that "I don't drink, smoke or gamble and as everyone is required to have a bad habit, mine is food. I love food, it just doesn't always love me back as I am gluten intolerant......" 

The purpose of this amazing cook book is to raise funds for Pediatric are Africa as every cent earned by it will go directly to Pediatric care Africa, to be used for children's medical treatment and nutrition.

The cost of publishing "Cooking with Doc" is rather high and we are asking for assistance from publishers/Printers or Companies that can sponsor a part or all of its publication. We aim to print at least 500 books as smaller
quantities is simply not financially viable due to the high printing costs.
Any and all sponsors will be published on the front and back page of the cook book and will be mentioned in all radio, Tv and newspaper interviews about this amazing book.
Cooking for kids!! Our CEO Dr Andre, who has writ Cooking for kids!!

Our CEO Dr Andre, who has written a number of medical related books and a children’s book, has completed his cook book called “Cooking with Doc” and he is making a few small changes before the final print.
 
“Doc” Andre is known as a “foodie” and loves food and dabble in a bit of cooking whenever his wife allows him to use her kitchen…!!! 
The basis of the book is South African dishes, but includes dishes he ate in different Countries he visited and managed to obtain the recipe of. If a dish is worth begging the recipe of, it is really good……
 
Humour and good food is the essence of this cook book, as Dr Andre has a very humorous way of writing…. “I write like I speak, he says”
 
The entire income of this cook book, will go directly to Pediatric care Africa as part of our fundraising campaign, to pay for children’s medical care.
 
We hope to have the book ready and published before our 2500km charity tractor ride through 5 provinces, as we want to sell it along the ride and of course give it as a little gift to persons and companies who support us year after year.
 
Once published, people will be able to order it online directly from Pediatric care Africa.
 
Watch this space folks…..

Success....! 7000 km and we arrived safe back in Success....! 
7000 km and we arrived safe back in White river from where we started. We rode into town accompanied by hordes of motorbikes and just before White river we met up with some kids from Huis Betlehem, who jumped on the back of our bikes to ride the final stretch through town with us. Awesome to be joined by kids, as we ride for them and this entire trip is dedicated to them. To Willie and Lazyja who at own expence rode the entire 7000km over 21days with me, thank you very, very much and to Hannes who met us in Durban and Pastor TJ Mare who met us in Piet Retief, a huge thank you to you two. Surika who made the impossible possible on this trip, and Joyce and Lee Melman, thank you for your exceptional effort to make this trip such a huge success. Every biker brother and sister who rode with us, I salute you👊 Untill next year when we ride again for the children of South Africa.

What a week we had, but we are very proud and grateful that we could help so many children and their parents.

If you cannot help a hundred children, then only help one…..!

The Secret to Happiness Is Helping Others! I w The Secret to Happiness Is Helping Others!

I was lucky enough to meet this beautiful 3 week old little girl when I delivered food to her grandparents who is looking after her.
 
This little girl and others like her is the reason why Pediatric care Africa exist, and we feel privileged to be able to help her in our small way.
 
We will make sure she never goes to sleep hungry…..
If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help a child……. #pcahero #childreninneed #nonprofit #charity #bethechange #philantrophy #charitablegiving
