in which it treats its children."

"Suffering is not a question that
demands an answer;
it is not a problem that
demands a solution;
it is a mystery that
demands a presence."

“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
Nothing is going to get better. It's not.”

Our play coordinators making a stay in hospital fun for the children.
We work in partnership with hospitals, hospices and homes to help them introduce or upgrade paediatric palliative care facilities.
We furnish and decorate rooms dedicated for end of life care so that the child and their family may have dignity and privacy.
We furnish and decorate designated play areas to allow children to access education, interact with siblings and friends, and participate in normal childhood activities.
Where needed, we appoint a play coordinator for the social wellbeing of the children. We are very grateful to Umduduzi Hospice Care for Children in
KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa for their willingness to help us in all our activities. Please visit their website http://www.umduduzi.co.za
