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 .
