SKRYFBEHOEFTES.
Rata Maatskaplike Dienste wend haar tot u met ’n nederige versoek, wat kinders in kwesbare gemeenskappe ondersteun.
Baie leerders in ons land begin die skooljaar sonder basiese skryfbehoeftes — iets so eenvoudig soos ’n notaboek of potlood wat hul leerproses drasties kan beïnvloed.
Volgens Statistiek Suid-Afrika was daar in 2023 sowat 14,4 miljoen leerders in gewone skole, waarvan ’n groot deel uit lae-inkomste huishoudings kom. Stygende lewenskoste en opvoedingsuitgawes maak dit vir baie ouers onmoontlik om selfs basiese skryfbehoeftes te bekostig. Onderwyskenners waarsku verder dat miljoene kinders sukkel met leesbegrip en konsentrasie – iets wat versterk kan word deur voldoende leerhulpmiddels en voorbereiding.
Ons nooi kerke, besighede en gemeenskappe uit om deel te word van hierdie lewensveranderende inisiatief deur:
• Skryfbehoeftes (notaboeke, penne, potlode, liniale, ens.) in te samel (sien lys op skyfie.). Selfs ’n eenvoudige skryfpakket kan vir ’n kind hoop bring, motivering gee en leer moontlik maak. (ongeveer R1500-00 in waarde)
Vir meer inligting of om betrokke te raak, kontak asseblief die ondergetekende of vir Annelle by info@rata.org.za of 064 437 5997.
Kontak jou naaste kantoor vir meer inligtig of om die skryfbehoeftes af te gee. (Kantoorlys hier)
Saam kan ons ‘n verskil maak in ’n kind se lewe.

STATIONERY
Rata Social Services reach out to you with a humble request, which supports children in vulnerable communities.
Many learners in our country start the school year without basic stationary items – something as simple as a notebook or pencil can have a profound impact on a child’s ability to learn.
According to Statistics South Africa, there were approximately 14.4 million learners in ordinary schools in 2023, with a large portion coming form low-income households. Rising living costs and education expenses make it impossible for many parents to afford even the most essential learning materials. Education experts also note that millions of children struggle with reading comprehension and focus – challenges that can be eased when children are equipped with the right learning tools.
We invite churches, businesses and communities to be part of this life-changing initiative by:
• Collecting stationery items (notebooks, pens, pencils, rulers, etc.) – see list on slide. Even a simple stationery pack can bring hope, motivation and opportunity to a child in need. (R1500-00 value approximately)
For more information or to get involved, please contact the undersigned or Annelle at info@rata.org.za or 064 437 5997.
Contact your nearest office for more information or to drop off the stationery. (office list)
Kindest Regards,

Babasorgpakkies
Dit is ’n toenemende gebeurtenis dat kinders skielik beveilig moet word. Dit gebeur gewoonlik slegs met die klere aan hul lyfies en meestal kan die mammas nie eens in die basiese benodigdhede voorsien nie.
Ten einde ons hande sterk te maak, vra ons u ondersteuning in die vorm van skenkings van baba-items, of kontantdonasies vir Rata se kinderbeskermingswerk. Die sorgpakkies word aan veiligheidsouers gegee wat op baie kort kennisgewing in krisissituasies babas en jong kinders inneem om tydelik te versorg.
Pakkies kan afgegee word by jou naaste Rata kantoor (lys hier)
Die onderstaande lysie is slegs voorstelle indien u nie seker is wat benodig word nie.
- NAN of Infacare-babaformule.
- Weggooidoeke – pasgebore tot 24 maande. Dui asseblief die grootte op die sorgpakkie aan.
- Fopspeen en ’n bababottel.
- Handdoek, waslappie en babaseep. Die kop-tot-tone-vloeibare seep werk baie goed (verkieslik hipo-allergenies).
- Watergebaseerde (Aqueous) room – verkieslik die ongegeurde weergawe.
- Kombersie.
- Sagte speelding.
- Babasak.
Die waarde van so ‘n pakkie is ongeveer R1 400-00. Dit maak die wêreld se verskil vir ‘n weerlose klein kindjie.

Baby Care packages
There is an increasing need to secure children on very short notice. We usually receive them with only the clothes on their backs. The mothers cannot support them with even the most basic necessities
In order to strengthen our hands, we ask for your support in the form of donations of baby items, or cash donations for Rata’s child protection work. The care packages are given to safety parents who take in babies and young children in crisis situations at very short notice for temporary care.
Packages can be dropped off at your nearest Rata office (list here)
The list below is only suggestions if you are not sure what is needed.
NAN or Infacare baby formula.
Disposable diapers – newborn to 24 months. Please indicate the size on the care package.
Pacifier and a baby bottle.
Towel, washcloth and baby soap. The head-to-toe liquid soap works very well (preferably hypoallergenic).
Water-based (Aqueous) cream – preferably the unscented version.
Blanket.
Soft toy.
Baby bag.
The value of such a package is approximately R1 400-00. It makes the world of difference to a defenseless little child.
