Help Durban Child and Youth Care by donating 4 urns for our 4 units where our children and youth live.

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

A donation of urns (large hot water dispensers) can be surprisingly impactful for an organization like the Durban Child and Youth Care Centre (DCYCC) and the children and youth it serves. Urns provide a constant supply of hot water for tea, coffee, or warm drinks, which are often essential, especially in colder weather or for comfort. Hot water from urns is often used to prepare instant foods like porridge, noodles, or soup, which can be quick, nourishing options. Rather than boiling water multiple times using kettles or on stoves, urns allow staff to access large quantities of hot water instantly, saving time and energy. Urns are more energy-efficient than repeatedly using electric kettles, especially in settings serving many children. DCYCC also host community events, volunteer programs, staff meetings, or workshops. Having urns available ensures hot beverages can be offered to guests, educators, or older youth in training programs. Many of the children in care have experienced trauma, neglect, or instability. Access to a warm drink can be a small but meaningful source of comfort and emotional support, helping create a nurturing environment. Donating urns may seem simple, but it's a practical, cost-saving, and emotionally supportive contribution that meets daily needs, improves efficiency, and fosters a warmer, more caring environment for the children and youth at DCYCC.
