St Joseph's Home (SJH) for Chronically Ill Children is a registered non-profit organisation which has been a pioneer in the field of paediatric intermediate health care in South Africa. We provide free transitional care for chronically ill children from disadvantaged families, from hospital to home through a holistic health and wellness programme. Patients are referred to St Joseph's from State Hospitals to continue with post-acute, restorative, palliative and rehabilitative care.

A hospital dedicated entirely to children - especially children predominantly from impoverished communities throughout South Africa and Africa - is critically important. So important, that it needs a champion to make sure that it's able to keep doing the phenomenal work it does. The Children's Hospital Trust is an independent non-profit organization established in 1994 to raise funds to support specific projects and programmes to help advance child healthcare through the Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital - the first stand-alone tertiary hospital, exclusively for children, in sub-Saharan Africa. The Trust raises funds for the upgrade and expansion of the Hospital's buildings, the purchase of state-of-the-art medical equipment, new medical treatment programmes and funds the training of medical professionals across Africa - ensuring that the Hospital not only retains its world-class stature, but is able to continue providing life-changing and life-saving care for children.

The KwaZulu-Natal Children's Hospital (formerly known as the Addington Children's Hospital) was built in 1928 and was the first hospital for children on the African continent. In 1984, at the peak of the huge combined internal and international struggle against Apartheid, the wards of the Hospital were closed by the Apartheid government as the hospital treated children of all races. The hospital remained closed for an astounding 28 years. Following the decision to renovate the Children's Hospital being unanimously approved by the KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) Provincial Cabinet in December 2009, the KZN Children's Hospital Trust was established and tasked with fundraising for and project managing the renovation and re-establishment of the Children's Hospital, now renamed The KwaZulu-Natal Children's Hospital. Refurbishment of the hospital commenced in February 2012.
