St Joseph's Home for Chronically Ill Children

For some children, leaving hospital doesn't mean they're ready to go home. They may still need months of specialised care, rehabilitation and support before they can return to their families and everyday lives.

That's where St Joseph's Home comes in.

Established in 1935 by the Pallottine Missionary Sisters, this remarkable facility in Montana, Cape Town, has spent generations caring for children with serious medical conditions, injuries and disabilities.

But St Joseph's offers far more than medical care. Through physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, education and emotional support, a dedicated team helps children regain abilities, build confidence and experience the joys of childhood.

Recognising the importance of rehabilitation, St Joseph's established a specialist programme to help children recovering from traumatic brain injuries, severe burns, neurological conditions and other serious illnesses.

In 2017, Proud Partners donated R30,000 towards integrating this rehabilitation initiative into the Home's comprehensive care programme.

It was a contribution to an organisation where dedicated people work every day to give vulnerable children the care, encouragement and opportunities they deserve.

Because every child deserves more than the chance to get better.

They deserve the chance to be children.
