Help Durban Child and Youth Care by donating 1 pool cover (mesh) to ensure safety for our children and youth.

Here's a little more info about this opportunity...

A donation of a mesh pool cover—specifically designed for safety—would be a highly valuable and potentially life-saving contribution to the Durban Child and Youth Care Centre (DCYCC). While pools offer recreational and therapeutic benefits, they also pose significant risks, especially in a setting where many children live and play. Children of all ages—especially younger ones—may wander near the pool unsupervised. A properly installed mesh cover acts as a strong physical barrier, preventing tragic accidents. Staff and caregivers can feel more at ease knowing that a major safety risk is being actively managed, even during off-hours. The pool can be safely sealed when not in use, ensuring it is only accessed during supervised activities. The donation will help DCYCC meet regulatory requirements for water safety in child and youth facilities. Mesh pool covers reduce leaves, dirt, and litter entering the pool, helping to maintain water quality and reduce cleaning time. Cleaner water reduces the need for frequent chemical treatments, which can be costly and harsh on sensitive skin. A mesh pool cover is much more than a safety device—it is a preventative, protective, and practical gift that helps the Durban Child and Youth Care Centre protect its children, reduce risk and stress for staff, and preserve a recreational asset. It shows a deep care for the children's well-being and a commitment to creating a safe, nurturing environment.
