The Children’s Act 38 of 2005 (as amended by the Children’s Amendment Act 41 of 2007) and the associated Regulations came into force on 1 April 2010 to respect, promote, protect and fulfil children’s constitutional rights. The Santa Shoebox Project does its utmost to uphold the rights of the children it represents, to ensure that active steps are taken to prevent third parties from interfering with and violating the children’s rights.

To protect the identity of the recipient children, we do not display a list of children’s names in direct association with the name of a facility in a public domain such as on our Website. This ensures that no member of the public will gain access to a child through our website. We know that our donors support any policy that keeps children safe from potential harm.
