Ronald McDonald House offers families a safe and welcoming place to stay close to their child during medical treatment.
Located on the second floor of Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital in Parktown, Johannesburg, our House gives families space to rest, prepare meals and find support during a difficult time.
Staying close helps families give their child the comfort, reassurance and love they need most.
Your donation helps sustain our programmes and provide families with a place to stay, meals and welcoming spaces close to their child’s hospital care. Your support eases everyday pressures so families have more time and energy to be there for their child.
