This year marks the 120th anniversary of the founding of our organisation. Based on Wikipedia’s estimate that the average generation spans 20-30 years, we can proudly boast that the Durban Child and Youth Care Centre has provided a safe and nurturing home environment for up to five generations of children in need of care.
That’s certainly cause for celebration – and we have plans to mark this significant occasion with a special event later in the year. Be sure to keep up-to-date with what’s happening by following us on social media and visiting our website for all the details.
New logo
To commemorate this memorable milestone, The Durban Child and Youth Care Centre has a fresh new logo and slogan. Although our values and beliefs have stood firm for over a century, they are now expressed in a more modern, colourful way that resonates with the children placed in our care, their families and their communities.
Against the backdrop of our celebratory year is the day-to-day reality of ensuring that we have the necessary human and financial resources to provide efficient, quality care. Having survived two World Wars and numerous other natural and man-made disasters due to the goodwill of friends and members of the community, we know that we can count on your continued support throughout the year and into the future.
