Supporting sick kids and their families
Ronald McDonald House Charities South Africa has supported thousands of seriously ill children
and their families, carers, and guardians. Opened in 2012, our House provides more than just the necessities. We specialize in assisting families traveling 60+ km from home to receive specialist medical care for their sick children. We offer a warm and welcoming place to stay in a supportive and understanding environment.
Through our accommodation and support services, we strive to build a community that nurtures and empowers seriously ill children and their families.
The Ronald McDonald House is located in the Nelson Mandela Childrenโs Hospital situated in Parktown, Johannesburg and our Ronald McDonald Family Rooms are located in the Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital in Soweto. Our two programs are run by our hardworking team, as well as our dedicated group of volunteers, all aided by the generous support of our donors, sponsors, community, and corporate partners.
Thank you for your continued support of our families!
