CCFm's Breakfast with Friends speaks to Vaughan Stannard the chairman of Connect Network and from Beautiful Gate South Africa about Child Protection Week (CPW) 2022. The Theme is Go Green!
Connect Network is a collaborative network of NPOs and Churches working together with women and children at risk, to see families thrive and communities transformed in South Africa. It was founded in 2004 in response to a critical need for NPOs to have systematic training and to increase their capacities and quality of service delivery to children at risk.
Currently we have more than 90 affiliated organisations and churches, with more than 5000 child protection advocates (or ambassadors) serving in these organisations, who provide services to more than 345,000 children and women per year.
