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!

At Ronald McDonald House Charities South Africa, we celebrate the beautiful diversity and rich cultures that make up our nation. Just as our heritage unites us, our mission brings us togetherโto keep families close when they need it most.
This Heritage Day, we honour the strength of our families, the compassion of our communities, and the unity that defines South Africa. Together, we continue to create a home-away-from-home for families across our country, offering comfort, care, and support when it`s needed most. ๐
From our RMHC family to yours, we wish you a day filled with pride in our shared heritage and hope for the future.

At Ronald McDonald House Charities South Africa, we believe that small acts of kindness can make a big difference.
Thanks to Eggbert Eggs incredible donation of 2000 eggs each month, we can bring a little taste of home to our families daily. ๐ณ๐
Whether it`s baking cookies to share warm moments or creating delicious cakes to celebrate special occasions, Eggbert`s generosity is the cornerstone of our efforts to make our house a home away from home for the parents and children who stay with us. ๐๐ช
Thank you, Eggbert, for your unwavering support and spreading joy with every egg you donate. Your kindness touches our hearts and the lives of many. ๐
