The Children’s Resource Centre in Dimbaza on Thursday hosted a delegation of former unionists from Germany who have funded the centre’s work for the past 20 years. The visit highlighted the long-standing partnership between the centre and its international supporters, as well as the impact their contributions have had in the community. Eastern Cape social development MEC Bukiwe Fanta attended the event and praised the role the centre played in supporting children and families in the area.
“For two decades, our friends from Germany have stood by us, believing in our mission to uplift our community,” Fanta said. “Their unwavering support has allowed us to expand our programmes, improve facilities and reach countless children who rely on our services.” The centre offers a range of services, including educational workshops, health support, nutritional assistance and counselling aimed at strengthening families and improving child welfare. Fanta said while progress had been made, more support was needed.
“We must celebrate the successes we’ve achieved together, but we must also recognise that there is still much work to be done. “The needs of our community are ever-evolving, and it is crucial that we continue to adapt and grow,” she said. She urged the German delegation to consider extending support to other non-profit organisations across the Eastern Cape.
