Who we are
Cotlands is a non-profit South African children’s organisation. We are currently active in six provinces, providing a full continuum of care to over 10,000 beneficiaries. Our projects offer services ranging from community based care through to residential care of vulnerable children between the ages of 0 and 12 years. Most of the children at the non- profit organisation come to us having been neglected, abused, abandoned or suffering from a life-threatening illness. Our programs include home based care, early childhood development centres, toy libraries, food gardens, counseling, places of safety and end-stage palliative care for children with AIDS.
Our focus at the children’s home is to develop each child holistically, focusing on their health, educational and psychosocial needs. In this way, we will be able to proactively impact the child, the family, the community and the nation for now and the future.

Latest Happenings
Cotlands as a children’s home has evolved. We have brought hope to life for many years and today, we believe that it’s a little more than hope; it’s about possibility. Our children are living proof that with the right care, they too can have a future.
Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Through the many difficult years of sorrow, loss and pain, we’ve learned to overcome these challenges. We’ve developed the treatment and adapted our programs to ensure that once our children are rehabilitated, they are equipped with what they need in life after their time at Cotlands. There are heroes among us and it’s this spirit that gives us the will to continue making that significant difference to tomorrow’s nation.
