“Yours for a better future, FOR THE SAKE OF OUR CHILDREN”
Cotlands is a sanctuary for abandoned, abused and orphaned children. The home cares for children from birth to 6 years of age. Historically, Cotland’s hospice was the first AIDS Hospice for children to be opened in South Africa in 1995. The Hospice primarily caters for terminally ill babies and small children. In addition, to these remarkable facilities, Cotlands established Home Based Care, an organizational project and the HIC, a Cotlands’ community outreach and training initiative. Lastly, Cotlands provides crucial care for 100 children in their Nursery School.

 

Scatterlings of Africa Conference Fund

 Scatterlings of Africa in conjunction with Cotlands has established a conference fund, an initiative by Scatterlings of Africa.

Since the inception of Scatterlings we have donated money towards this unique conference fund. The Fund is specifically designed to reserve money so that staff can attend national and international conferences thereby increasing skills and updating their knowledge for and improving the quality of life for the abused, abandoned and AIDS impacted children in their care.

 In the past, Scatterlings has endeavored to play an active role in supporting Cotlands. In addition to monetary donations we have supplied educational books and materials to the nursery school, provided blankets and bedding for the home as well as hosted a Christmas party for the children. However, our role is far from complete or adequate; it is our sincere hope and aim to continue providing pivotal support in whatever capacity to this outstanding charity.

 In a country filled with a plethora of challenges and an ever increasing lack of resources, Cotlands Baby Sanctuary relies heavily upon donations to meet the needs of the destitute and disease-stricken South Africans. Allison Gallo, Manager of Corporate Accounts at Cotlands poignantly echoes these sentiments;

 “I have personally witnessed the healing power of loving hands that keep the children comfortable, free of pain and full of hope. Sadly, most of these children die before they can reach the age of two, but not in vain because we know that we have made a difference in their lives and provided a place where the children who are terminally ill, can die with dignity in a loving, friendly and familiar environment.

 Trying to prevent society’s wounded, ill and discarded children from falling through the net and being lost to any help is a very daunting task and one that might tempt us to become despondent, particularly after a long hard year. Yet when people like you display generosity of this magnitude, we are greatly encouraged and strengthened.”
