Social Responsibility

CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation

Roedean School (SA) partners with CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation South Africa.

Overview

Around 80% of all childhood cancer cases globally occur in low- and middle-income countries yet less than a third of children are diagnosed in these countries and of those that are treated, less than 20% survive (South African Government Official Information and services, 2024).

We are proud to announce our partnership with CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation SA, a non-profit organisation that advocates for the health and wellbeing of children and teenagers diagnosed with cancer or life-threatening blood disorders and their families. “Our shared and non-negotiable core values of service and teamwork with the aim of transforming our world continues to be the pillars that encourage us to stand up and support the well-being of our communities” said Lindi Dlamini, Executive Director.

We call our community to come together in support of our efforts to spread awareness of childhood cancer, early diagnosis as well as treatment. From 13 September to 20 September, you will be able to buy a gold ribbon for as little as R15,00. The ribbon will serve as a way for individuals to show their allegiance and advocate for research and resources.

We would really like to make an effort befitting of Roedean, so we urge our community to fully support us in meeting our target of R100 000. We encourage you to #PlayYourPart to ensure that affected families have the means to send their children to hospital for cancer treatment. Unfortunately, for most families sending a child to hospital has an adverse impact on necessities of daily living such as food and shelter.

#PlayYourPart and donate now via:

Ribbons can be collected from Junior School Reception or Senior School Reception upon confirmation of payment.

May we continue to live our values and participate actively in social responsibility. Like and follow us on our social media channels to learn more about Childhood Cancer and how you can #PlayYourPart
