Impilo Child Protection Campaign

“There can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way in which it treats its children.”
– Nelson Mandela

It is estimated that 3500 children are abandoned in South Africa every year, approximately 300 per month, this figure only includes survivors. It’s a horrifying and disturbing statistic, but what can we do about it?

Impilo is at the forefront of efforts to address this social crisis through its comprehensive range of child protection and adoption services. To this end, we are embarking on a new campaign to create awareness, increase support and build a dynamic network that will assist these children with the opportunity for a full and productive life. After all, it takes a village…

The campaign will be launched at our media event on 13 June, during child protection month and just before our country celebrates Youth Day and will carry through to Mandela Day and onto Women’s month 2019. (with more details to follow)

How can you get involved?
