All our children are placed directly from a hospital by a physician. 48% of our children are from the Red Cross Children’s Hospital, 30% are placed through Tygerberg Hospital and 12% come from Groote Schuur Hospital, with the remaining 10% being placed by Victoria, Somerset, Lentegeur, Conradie Care and Brooklyn Chest Hospital.

Of the 145 children in care at St. Joseph’s, 25% currently have cancer, with Leukaemia being the most common form. In South Africa 600 children are annually diagnosed with cancer.
St. Joseph’s offers free palliative care for the children while they undergo treatment at Provincial Hospitals like Red Cross and Tygerberg Hospital. We also offer short term accommodations to the parents while their children undergo this critical phase of treatment. Our services are offered at no cost to the families who are unable to afford this type of care.
We thank the many supports of St. Joseph’s who help us to give children a second chance at a healthy childhood.

More than 1,000 children are newly infected with HIV every day, and of these more than half will die due to a lack of access to HIV treatment. Fortunately, St. Joseph’s Home has been saving the lives of HIV infected children since 2002. Today, over 33% of our little patients suffering from HIV/AIDS and TB have been given a second chance at a healthy childhood.

Join us today and become a part of the solution that seeks to save lives.

“Our children will have struggles, I know, struggles from which I cannot protect them, struggles after I am gone. And when they come, our children will remember how their family, how we, chose to handle hardship. I want them to say, ‘We did not give into hardship.’” – Elizabeth Edwards
