Every Child counts
The Eyabantwana Trust is an independent non-profit organisation dedicated to supporting the Department of Paediatric Surgery – East London, based at Frere and Cecilia Makiwane Hospitals.
Established in 2013, the Trust aims to enhance surgical care for children from across the Eastern Cape, many of whom travel vast distances to access treatment. Serving one of South Africa’s poorest provinces, the Trust helps to overcome the financial constraints that limit the upgrade of facilities and acquisition of essential medical equipment. Through ongoing fundraisers and generous sponsorships, we strive to make a lasting impact on the lives of the children in our care.
