Alstom Restoring Hope for Vulnerable Children
On Friday, 15 November Alstom Ubunye handed over the renovated CHANCE Children’s Home in Dunnottar to its new management. The home, which had been closed at the end of 2023 due to financial constraints and lack of funding, opened its doors once again, thanks to a comprehensive renovation effort funded by Alstom Ubunye.
The home closure last year profoundly impacted the lives of the children residing there, as they were relocated to other unfamiliar shelters. The reopening of the facility marks a significant milestone in the restoration of stability and care for vulnerable children.
The center management extended their gratitude to all contributors involved in the renovation works, acknowledging the collective effort that restored this beacon of hope.
“We are pleased to once again step up and contribute to the functioning of this important home for orphaned and vulnerable children. In 2021, through the Alstom Foundation, we funded the installation of Solar PV panels to ensure the Home is not disrupted by power outages because of severe load shedding that was experienced in South Africa.
“Moving forward, we will continue to partner with the home to ensure effective management systems are in place for its future sustainability,” said Tristan le Masne, Managing director for Alstom Southern Africa.
*Alstom is a platinum member of the French South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FSACCI).
