Virtual Santa Shoeboxes are made by teams of volunteers, and allocated to underprivileged children living in remote areas of South Africa. Due to the lack of donors in rural areas, these children would otherwise not receive a Santa Shoebox, and quite possibly no end-of-year gift at all.

Every Virtual Santa Shoebox contains all 8 required items: a toothpaste & toothbrush, soap & a facecloth, sweets, a toy, school supplies and a voucher for an outfit of clothing. Additional sponsored items are added as available and age-appropriate. These include books, lunch boxes, and teen hygiene products.

The cheerfully printed Shoeboxes are packaged, delivered and personally handed to the beneficiary child.

Should your purchase of a Generic Virtual Santa Shoebox be received after the Shoeboxes for the current Campaign have been allocated and delivered, your VSS will be carried over to the following year – and packed, allocated and delivered as above.

Less than 50% of South African children attend Early Learning Programmes; and only 43% of those who do are on track to Thrive by 5. (Thrive-by-five Report).
Our goal is for the mothers of the Cape Flats to have the knowledge and tools to provide nurturing care to their babies from the womb to the classroom so that the children can reach their full potential. 
We believe that mothers who are supported and equipped have the power to break the cycles of poverty and violence by raising children who can take a contributing place in the world.
To keep doing what we do in 2024 we need to raise an additional R12,000 a month. You can help us achieve this by signing up for our Club67 monthly subscription. Choose an amount from as little as R67 per month to protect babies by creating clinic packs, to R670 a month to dress babies in need, to R1670 a month to Equip mothers through the graduation packs.

Education plays an incredibly vital role in the life of Missing Children South Africa, and for that reason we have developed an educational program called ‘MCSA EDUCATION 101’ EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN which includes ‘Safety Tips for Children’ and ‘Safety Tips for Parents’ and ‘Holiday Safety Tips’ to promote Child Safety. The education is targeted to all the vulnerable children. The education is also shared with parents, guardians and the families who take care of these children. The education focuses on not only the dangers, but also the solutions with regards to what to do to keep children safe, and especially what not do. The 'MCSA Education 101' program will be taken to selected urban, outlying/rural schools and inner-city schools, and will be posted across all MCSA's social media platforms, and reach in excess of 100 000+ children, teachers, their parents and guardians. Our aim with the funding is to physically reach 100 000+ children, their teachers and the parents/guardians with the road shows and 250 000+ via our social media platforms. The various costs to be covered are the design of the material, the printing of material, the social media spend and the road show costs (to physically get to the identified schools).

Missing Children South Africa is an organisation that assists the authorities when a child goes missing in South Africa, for any reason whatsoever.

MCSA work closely with the SAPS and other government bodies as well as private institutions and other NGO's to assist in the recovery and safe return of any missing child. 

MCSA’s first tier is an emergency response service. We have a national helpline for incident reports and callers are advised on which immediate steps to take in logging the incident officially with the SAPS so as to ensure efficient and timeous action.

We also liaise with the investigating officers on the case so as to ensure a continuous flow of information between the parents and authorities, often advising the officers on duty as to the correct steps to take to take. 

Secondly, by activating a vast national social and media network we distribute flyers of missing children, creating mass awareness of the individual and maximising the chances of that child being recovered.

Education plays an incredibly vital role, and Missing Children South Africa would also utilise part of this funding to continue with our Educational Programme; ‘Safety Tips for Children’ + ‘Safety Tips for Parents’ and ‘Holiday Safety Tips’. This is targeted to all the vulnerable and orphaned children, and children with disabilities. The education is also shared with parents, guardians and the families who take care of these children.
The education focuses on not only the dangers, but also the solutions with regards to what to do to keep children safe, and especially what not do. 

MCSA is based in the Western Cape but operate on a national level and as such are the most recognised, free community service for missing children (and adults) in the country.

Our website www.missingchildren.org.za acts as an emergency report facility as well as being platform for informational and educational material with regards to Child Safety.
