ADOPT-A-COT

This is a Fundraising initiative set up where you, your company, your school, your community or your family can Adopt-A-Cot to help with nurturing our babies in the way they so deserve.

This is also a way to sponsor one of our Baby Cots in a way that will give financial assistance to our children. By becoming a sponsor of our Adopt-A-Cot program you will become an integral part of our home donating much-needed funds to assist with the care and nurturing of our babies.

The cost per baby per month is around R2,000 per baby. This includes formula, diapers, toiletries, wet wipes and cereal. (excluding rent, staff costs, medical aid etc)

Adopters can choose between a partial sponsorship of anything from R1,000 per month, where each cot will be allocated three shared sponsors, or full sponsorship at R3,000 per month, where a company will be the sole sponsor of a cot.

This covers everything that the baby needs whilst in our care. With this programme businesses or groupings of people have the opportunity to Adopt-A-Cot for a year or may offer part sponsorship of a cot for a percentage of the cost.

A PBO certificate is available for businesses to obtain taxation benefits from their donations.
By signing up to Our Adopt-A-Cot program you will receive: An Official Tax Certificate every 6 months Advertising on our Web Site and Social Media Pages. Your Company logo is placed on your sponsored cot.
