Durbanville Children’s Home.

Durbanville Children’s Home was awarded the Gold Ubuntu IYVS Award:

Ubuntu IYVSA 2009 are delighted to announce that the winner of the Ubuntu International Voluntary Youth Service Award for 2009 is the Durbanville Children’s Home in Cape Town. This project is outstanding in the support, training and empowerment that it affords to volunteers and the way in which it recognises the extent to which they have been able to improve the quality of life of the children in this children’s home. It also distinguished itself for encouraging the volunteers to introduce innovative and sustainable programmes, and for their integration with the administration, programmes and staff of the home. For these features it received the Ubuntu Gold Award.
