Plumblink held its annual VIP Family Day on 3 December 2016, with the event bursting at the seams between 10:00 and 15:00 on the day.
Started in 1987 and situated in East Lynne, Pretoria, the Jakaranda Children’ s Home is a non-profit organisation that looks after the welfare of abused children. These children are removed from their parents due to abandonment, neglect, or emotional and physical abuse, and placed in Jakaranda’ s care by the South African Children’ s Court.
Jakaranda’ s primary purpose is to provide the children with clothing, housing, schooling, food, security, and stability. In addition, it aims to provide the children with the necessary therapy, life skills, and emotional support they need to become responsible adults and to curb the cycle of abuse.
The Jakaranda Children’ s Home is currently looking after 250 children between the ages of 18 months and
18 years. The children are divided into groups of 13, each group living in separate houses under the supervision of house parents.
The event was attended by plumbers and members of the plumbing industry.
