Actions and opportunities for companies who want to make a difference.
Ronald McDonald House Charities South Africa is a non-profit organisation that provides a home-away-from-home for families whose children are receiving specialised medical treatment. We keep families close to care through our House, Family Rooms and Lactation Centre programs.
We opened our first programme in 2012, and since then, we’ve expanded to include the Ronald McDonald House, Family Rooms, Care Mobiles and specialised initiatives like Lactation Centres.
McDonald’s South Africa is our founding and sustaining partner. The company helps fund operations through in-store campaigns, corporate support and volunteer engagement. However, RMHC South Africa is an independent non-profit organisation with its own Board of Directors and governance.
No. Families stay with us at no charge, thanks to the generosity of our donors, partners and volunteers.
Families with a child receiving medical treatment at the Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital may stay, subject to referral and room availability.
Families have access to private bedrooms, a shared kitchen and dining area, a laundry room, a kids’ playroom, a library and lounges designed for rest and connection.
Families are referred to the House by the Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital social work or medical team. Once referred, our staff will contact the family to confirm availability and guide them through the short application process.
How ever you choose to get involved, your time and talent will help children and their families heal together. We can’t wait to see you and your group.
