St. Joseph CYCC

A safe, loving home and environment for disadvantaged children

St. Joseph CYCC Children’s Home is located in Mbongolwane, in the heart of South Africa’s Zululand. Our goal is to provide a safe home for the children entrusted to us and to offer them a substitute family within our Christian community. We, the Servants of the Holy Childhood of Jesus, have been working with disadvantaged children from the KwaZulu-Natal province for more than 30 years.

Our mission statement

St. Joseph CYCC aims to provide a holistic care for children in need, based on Christian morals and principles within the Catholic ethos. We want to rear and educate the children to the best of their abilities, and we want to help them develop their own personality in order to become responsible members of society.

We have defined four key aspects in our work

share love

We create a safe home and environment for marginalised children. In our care, we empower and uplift our youngsters so they receive a second chance in life.

promote health

We invest in our childrensā€™ lives, promoting a healthy lifestyle and nurturing them to be strong and resilient human beings.

focus on education

We empower our children to visit good quality learning institutions so they can keep learning and reach their full potential in life.

build networks

We work in the local Zululand area, but our supporters from countries around the world are the power behind our childrensā€™ growth.
