PROFILE - MISSING CHILDREN SOUTH AFRICA



Missing Children SA was established in March 2007 in response to the kidnapping and brutal murders of Sheldean Human (7) of Pretoria and Anestacia Wiese (12) of Mitchell’s Plain, to assist and support families finding themselves in similar tragic situations. The first 24 hours after a child goes missing, is the most crucial and our organisation exists to create awareness and to react immediately, when a child is reported missing. Missing Children SA assists the South African Police Service in finding children and creating a national awareness. Citizens of South Africa do not realise the reality of child abduction and run-aways and as an organisation we intend to change this point of view.


Our Vision:
To be instrumental in creating national awareness and proactive communities in relation to missing children.
To have in place a well integrated and effective network, working hand in hand with the police, that can be activated at a minutes notice, in order to find missing children.
To support the families of missing children emotionally, spiritually and mentally.
To involved the South African community and citizens in promoting child safety.

Our Mission
To be the national voice for any child at risk and to act immediately and effectively to prevent children from becoming victims .
Our Objectives
To ensure that whenever a child goes missing all the systems are in place to find and reunite the child as soon as possible.
