The aim of Drive for a Child is to enable Rata Social Services to protect children from all forms of abuse, of which sexual abuse is but one form…

To protect abused children, the professional social workers of Rata Social Services remove them from their violent environment, investigate their case and present them in court after which they are placed in alternative care such as foster care or other Child and Youth Care Centers. Our social workers also arrange for therapy and draw up an Individual Development Plan for each child. But it doesn’t stop there – Rata helps to prevent further violence through community development programs and parental guidance programs.

Rata Social Services is also one of only a few NGO’s who are accredited to do adoptions.

Only registered social workers from an organisation that is registered to provide child protection services, may remove a child from the care of their parents or guardians.

What can you do to help stop child abuse? If you love golf, the only thing better than playing your favourite sport, is playing it for a cause.
