A birthday is one of those special days every child looks forward to – a day that’s all about YOU – a day of opening presents and blowing out candles.
Sadly, for many of our children, a birthday that should be filled with laughter and love is just another ordinary day.
This year, we want to change that. We want to make our children feel special by throwing them a proper birthday party.
On Saturday, 1 March, we celebrate the birthday of our founder, Rev. Abraham Kriel. On this day, we will be treating each of the 170 children in our care to a grand, shared birthday celebration.
We will fill the day with bright balloons and confetti. We will enjoy cake and cupcakes, blow out candles, hand out party packs, and give every child a birthday present.
However, due to our limited government funding, we need your help to make this celebration a reality.
By making a donation to Abraham Kriel Children’s Home Nylstroom via BackABuddy or directly into our bank account, you will help ensure that every child gets a candle to blow out.

Once upon a time, in a home filled with laughter, resilience, and quiet courage, a young boy and girl stood on the threshold of something magical: their matric dance. A night of celebration, a rite of passage, a moment they’ve dreamt of for years. But unlike Cinderella, they don’t have a fairy godmother to wave a wand and turn worn shoes into glass slippers or school uniforms into shimmering gowns and sharp suits.
Chris and Cassey are incredible children. They have worked so hard to reach this milestone. They’ve overcome more than most of us could imagine. But now, as their big night approaches, there’s one thing missing… the magic.
Cassey needs a dress and Chris needs a suit. They need shoes that sparkle, and hair and makeup that makes them feel like royalty.
This is where you come in.
Do you have an old ballgown tucked away in the back of your cupboard? A suit that no longer fits, but once made you feel invincible? Or maybe just a heart full of kindness and a few rands to spare?
You can donate a dress or a suit or make a financial contribution that will go towards their hair and make-up.

No child should miss out on feeling beautiful, special, and celebrated especially not on a night as magical as this.
Let’s turn this dream into a memory that lasts forever and show these matriculants that magic is real: it simply lives in people who care.
Be their fairy godmother. Give them their Cinderella and Prince Charming moment.
