Impilo, a designated child protection organisation with adoption accreditation for national and intercountry adoptions, places children in temporary safe care while carrying out intensive social work and child protection services so that children can be placed in a permanent family environment as early as possible after removal. At any given time, we provide services in the Gauteng region to about 150 children who are orphaned, vulnerable or abandoned. Typically, 13% to 19% of children cared for in a year will be refugees or asylum-seekers. We provide services to children up to 18 years old; however, 90% of the children we serve are under 6 years of age.
We believe children should be raised in a family environment where they can thrive. We strive to avoid removal where appropriate, and return children to their family as quickly as possible after removal or find an alternative family, i.e. adoption. The family of origin is always the first option for a child’s placement, and alternative placement is considered and pursued only if this is not viable. 95% of our children are placed in a family environment within 2 years, and because of careful screening and monitoring, 98% of these placements are successful.
Vision & Mission
To provide pre-statutory and statutory child protection and adoption services, and to build capacity in order to ensure that at-risk children in South Africa live in a safe, permanent home within a family they call their own.
To care for and protect orphaned, vulnerable, and abandoned children by providing professional services, guided by the underlying principle that the child’s best interests be served. We aim to strengthen, protect, preserve, and build families in order to achieve our objective of providing children in our care with families. We aim to provide early-intervention services to both parents and vulnerable children, and strive to empower mothers to care for their children within their families and communities.
