CPI SA stel Foster Care Club vir Suid-Afrikaanse pleegouers bekend
Ter viering van Internasionale Pleegsorgmaand in Mei, het Care Protect Invest – South Africa (CPI SA) die Foster Care Club vir Suid-Afrikaanse pleegouers bekend gestel.
Die klub sal dien as ‘n platform om pleegouers met mekaar in verbinding te bring. Ouers kan vrae en boodskappe deur die platform stuur en hulle gedagtes en uitdagings rondom pleegsorg met ander ouers in dieselfde situasie, deel.
“Die uitdagings wat pleegouers ervaar is uniek en die ‘normale’ reëls om kinders groot te maak, moet aangepas word,” sê Dinah Bronkhorst, die uitvoerende hoof van CPI SA. “Ons ervaar dat ons pleegouers dikwels ‘n klankbord nodig het om sake wat met pleegsorg te doen het, te bespreek. Met die Foster Care Club sal hulle nou so ‘n geleentheid hê.”
CPI SA beoog ook om van die kwessies wat uit die terugvoer deur die klub na vore tree, in ‘n maandelikse nuusbrief te bespreek, sodat dit ander pleegouers van hulp kan wees.
“Hierdie platform is maar een van ‘n reeks inisiatiewe wat CPI SA aanpak om armoedeverligting in Suid-Afrika te ondersteun,” sê Bronkhorst. “Met ons Toekomstuiste pleegsorghuise dra ons by om kinders wat andersins in die stelsel sou verdwyn, ‘n kans op ‘n blink toekoms te gee. Elke projek wat ons aanpak is daarop gemik om die mees kwesbare lede van die samelewing, se lewe te verbeter.”

CPI SA introduces Foster Care Club for South African foster parents
In celebration of International Foster Care Month during May, Care Protect Invest – South Africa (CPI SA) launched the Foster Care Club for South African foster parents.
The club will serve as a platform to connect foster parents. Parents can send questions and messages through the platform and share their thoughts and challenges around foster care with parents in the same situation.
“The challenges foster parents face are unique, and the ‘normal’ rules around raising kids need to be adjusted,” says Dinah Bronkhorst, the executive head of CPI SA. “We experience that foster parents often need a sounding board to discuss issues around foster child care. With the Foster Care Club, they will now have the opportunity to that.”
CPI SA plans to discuss the issues which come to the fore through the club, in a monthly newsletter, as a tool for other foster parents.
“The platform is only one of a series of initiatives CPI SA is undertaking to support poverty relieve in South Africa,” says Bronkhorst. “With our Toekomstuiste foster homes, we give children – who would otherwise only disappear in the system – the chance at a bright future. Each project we undertake aims to better the lives of the most vulnerable members of society.
