The latest available (2018) statistics show that the child population was approximately 19.7 million children. Children made up 34% of the total population of 57.7 million people. Of these, approximately 2.7 million were orphans (14%). These include 519,000 maternal orphans, 1.693 million paternal orphans and more than 471,000 double orphans). In addition, more than 200,000 children lost a primary caregiver during the covid pandemic.

Benoni Child Welfare aims to protect and promote the interests, wellbeing, safety and development of such children within the context of family and community and to safeguard the rights of children through a holistic, intersectoral, developmental and comprehensive system of social services. They are a non-profit organisation totally reliant on the support and funding from private and corporate donors and sponsors to supplement the inadequate funding from Government. They render statutory services to any member of the community that falls in their area of service delivery that presents with a psychosocial problem. Their caseload is currently 1 000 families in Benoni and Daveyton.

“We have a responsibility towards the communities in which we operate and where our staff members live,” says Macsteel CEO Mike Benfield. “Benoni Child Welfare looks after the most vulnerable of all: our children. We’re proud to support them however we can.” Sabi River Sun Resort is situated in Hazyview on the doorstep of the Kruger National Park.
