Supporting sick kids and their families
Ronald McDonald House Charities South Africa has supported thousands of seriously ill children
and their parents, 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.
Our Ronald McDonald House (located in the Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital – Johannesburg) and our Ronald McDonald Family Rooms (located in Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital in Soweto) is run by a hardworking team of staff, and a dedicated group of volunteers, all aided by the generous support of our donors, sponsors, community, and corporate partners.

Youth Day reminds us that childhood doesn't look the same for every child. For some children, growing up includes hospital stays and difficult days no family ever expects.
At Ronald McDonald House Charities South Africa, we help families stay close through it all. Because every child deserves family nearby.
Leave a 💛 for the families walking this journey together.

When a child gets sick, families do too. 💛
This Youth Month, we honour the courage of children facing serious illness or injury and the strength of the families who walk every step of the journey beside them.
Because healing takes more than treatment. It takes family close by.
Partner with us to help keep families together while critically ill or injured children receive the care they need. rmhcsouthafrica.org/

A meal may seem simple, but for families staying close to a child receiving medical care, it can mean comfort, relief and support.
Through their Kitchen & Dining Room Adoption Partnership, Sundale, represented by Lesley Jacobs and Mari, is helping RMHC South Africa's Parktown House provide nourishment and care to the families we serve.

What began as a vision has been shaped by the lived experiences of families, teams and communities.
It has evolved through moments of strength, resilience and stories that leave a lasting impact. 🫂
This celebration reflected just a small part of that journey.

One evening. One purpose. Keeping families together. 💛
When a child is in hospital, being close to family means everything, and last week, business leaders joined McDonlald’s CEO Max Oliva and Matshepo Msibi, RMHC CEO, at our first ever CEO sleep-in to help raise awareness and funds that will go towards helping keep families close.
Last year alone, RMHC South Africa supported 8,464 overnight stays and served over 90,610 meals and this evening was more than a night away from home, it was a night spent raising awareness and helping ensure that more families can be helped.

Back to school. Back to the early mornings, the skhaftins and the “how was your days?”.
As routines return, may love, support, and togetherness remain at the centre of it all.
Leave a 💛 for the moments that bring families together.
