We believe every child and family deserves hope, care, and the chance to thrive. Through dedicated support and community-driven action, we help bring light into moments of despair.

Find your nearest office or Centre of Hope and connect with a team ready to support children, families and local communities.
Support our work by giving your time, resources or care. Every act of kindness helps bring hope to children, families and communities.
For over 8 decades, we’ve learned that every story can be rewritten when hope, care and support are added at the right time.
Since 1936, CMR North has been supporting vulnerable children and families through care, protection, and practical assistance.
Over the past 90 years, we have grown from a single initiative into a multi-provincial organisation, reaching communities across Gauteng, Limpopo, and North West. Through our network of social workers, we provide child protection services, strengthen families, and support community development – impacting approximately 22,000 people each year.
Our work has evolved over time, but our focus has remained the same: “To walk alongside those in need with compassion, professionalism, and consistency.”
We work to protect children from abuse, neglect and harm by creating safe spaces, offering support and helping restore dignity, stability and hope in their lives.
Strong families build strong communities. We support families through guidance, care and practical assistance to help them stay together, grow stronger and overcome challenges.
Many families face difficult circumstances every day. We offer practical support that helps meet basic needs and brings relief, encouragement and hope during times of hardship.
Healthy communities create brighter futures. We work within communities to provide support, build relationships and create opportunities that uplift and strengthen the people we serve.
