CMR Eastern Cape
Non-Profit Organization that stands up for children in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa!
The organization has almost 80 years of providing Child Welfare services in the poorest and second largest (168 966 km2) province of South Africa – the Eastern Cape. We care for and protect children in need and those at risk of any form of neglect or abuse. Striving for a holistic approach to child welfare by rendering professional support to fortify vulnerable families in the overall interests of child protection and care. CMR’s approach to this, is to focus on the preservation of families – keeping children protected and cared for within the nucleus of stable families and communities. The organization represents 11 far flung communities, many are rural with limited access to resources or intervention.
The 11 CMR Branches are independently registered as NPOs with the Regional office coordinating them as one unit. This Regional Office, based in Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) has adopted new strategies to allow for a more streamlined, co-ordinated and strategic approach to improve funding opportunities to its branches and to enhance service delivery to children and families in need in their respective communities.
