from which we work. CATCH exists purely to
care for the poor and vulnerable children of
Mzamomhle informal settlement.
We work on the principle of consistent and long
term involvement in the lives of the children in
order to increase physical, emotional and social
resilience. Activities take place daily at Catch,
which are aimed at diverting children away
from destructive behaviours.

CATCH provides meals for the 500 children
who visit every week.

A newly implemented CATCH intervention
is the Family Preservation Programme which
seeks to alleviate the distress of children in the
poorest and most vulnerable families. CATCH
works with each member in every family where
there are challenges of substance abuse, HIV,
child neglect and gross poverty.

The aim is to work alongside families to
promote self sustainability. As long as families
are willing to participate and develop their
innate strengths CATCH has pledged to remain
with them and the children until the ultimate
goal of self sustainability is reached.

Cotlands



Cotlands is a non-profit early childhood
development organisation addressing the
education and social crisis by establishing early
learning playgroups and toy libraries in poor
communities to serve vulnerable children aged
birth to six.
In East London our project reaches hundreds of
children, who access our four hour high impact
learning playgroups twice a week. The two- to
four-year-old playgroup gives children access
to early learning opportunities through play.
Our programmes are based on best practice
principles designed to ensure the holistic
development of the children we serve.
A nutritious breakfast and lunch is provided for
each child attending early learning playgroups.
In some instances Cotlands prepares the meal
but, wherever possible, we have partnered
with existing feeding schemes. The early
learning playgroups are presented by an early
learning facilitator (ELF). To ensure quality and
minimise risks, each ELF has an assistant – an
unemployed youth from the community who
has an interest in ECD. To provide an integrated
service to our children, a nurse and social
worker visit the early learning groups regularly.
We also run a toy library in East London.
Cotlands believes that if every child had access
to a toy library that provides high quality
early learning play opportunities, he or she

iThemba Ranch



iThemba (meaning hope in Xhosa) Ranch
is situated just outside of East London on
the picturesque farm of Teddy farms. It is a
place where broken children and horses find
wholeness, belonging and trust. It is a place
where both horse and child find healing in the
loving arms of a leader. And most importantly,
it is God who is the glue that holds everything
together.
The Horses
The horses come to us from a range of
different backgrounds from abuse and
neglect, as well as cases of abandonment, but
the cases we deal with the most are horses
that are mistreated due to ignorance. When

horses. This is by far our biggest cost. issues we deal with vary from parents that are

abuse and abandonment. It is truly amazing
to watch how, time after time, horses will pick
out a child in the crowd that has the same
background as them, and then to witness the
child and horse “hugging each other,” lost in a
world of their own.

Jack & Jill Day Care Centre was founded in 2005
in Scenery Park, East London. It was established
after a lengthy and extensive consultation by
community members regarding the plight of

for work. The main challenge was that in most
cases the children where looked after by their

then that the facility was established so as to
address children’s development needs in a
focused and organised manner.

who are always vulnerable to abuse

SANCA Central Eastern Cape



“The growth of the South African economy is
being hampered by rampant alcoholism and
growing substance addiction. However, by
putting the health and wellbeing of employees
first, and by providing employees with the
necessary support, companies can not only
safeguard employees but can also preserve their
productivity” (Dr Jacqui Joubert).

Substance abuse attributable absenteeism is
estimated to cost South Africa between R140.6
million and R447.7 million each year. As much as
10% of the 2009 GDP, or R246 billion, represents
the cost of alcohol abuse to the South African
economy, according to research published by the
South African Medical Journal (2015)

SANCA Central Eastern Cape is a registered
Non-Profit and Public Benefits Organisation
specialising in the prevention, treatment
and aftercare of substance abuse. With 65
years’ experience in the field, SANCA Central
Eastern Cape remains committed to providing
holistic and evidence based programmes to
communities, families and individuals that are
affected by this problem.

The NGO’s included in this book have gone through a process of due diligence through the

The key outcome of this CSI guide is to connect NGO’s with business so that we achieve our
