Financial Contributions
Margaret's House is partly funded by the South African Government (per child grant). In future the per child system will be replaced by programme-based funding.The home relies on independent donations for roughly 45% of the total gross income required to cover expenses, such as operation costs (food, shelter, education, transport, medical etc), personal development; healing and empowerment; and to cover costs of reunification into blood family or equivalent. In reality many NGOs can barely cover the operation and personal development costs, but it is reunification that truly gives the child a chance to heal, grow, and flourish in conventional society.
Making a financial contribution to Margaret's House may involve detailed communication in terms of defining the specific use of the funds i.e. a specific project. In this case the person or entity wishing to make the donation is encouraged to make contact with a board member to participate in discussions and planning.
