About Us

Geanker in Sorg

CMR Noord is ’n Christelike, geloofsgebaseerde Kinderbeskermings- en Nie-winsgewende organisasie wat toegewyd kinders beskerm, gesinne versterk en kwesbare gemeenskappe ophef. Ons span gekwalifiseerde maatskaplike werkers lewer holistiese, professionele dienste wat menswaardigheid herstel, veerkragtigheid bou en volhoubare verandering bevorder.
Ons funksioneer deur 15 Sentrums van Hoop regoor Gauteng, Limpopo en Noordwes en bied ondersteuning deur ’n spanbenadering met ’n geïntegreerde, holistiese werkswyse.
Vir 90 jaar al stap CMR Noord saam met mense in nood – deur krisisse te hanteer, genesing te ondersteun en individue te help om hul lewens met waardigheid te herbou. Ons skep veilige ruimtes waar mense ondersteuning ontvang en die geleentheid kry om te groei en hul volle potensiaal te bereik.

Our Values

Our vision, mission, and values serve as the foundation of CMR North’s identity, guiding our decisions, shaping our culture, and defining our interactions with stakeholders.

Every child deserves to feel safe

Few realities are as devastating as the abuse, neglect, and exploitation of innocent children.

At CMR North, we encounter these realities every day, and we believe that no child should have to face them alone.

Our Save a Child Project was born out of a refusal to accept this as “normal.” Launched in 2000, it reflects a clear and urgent commitment: to protect children at risk, to respond decisively to abuse, and to ensure that every child has the opportunity to heal.

At the heart of this project is a simple truth – children are innocent. They deserve safety, care, and the chance to grow into their full potential. Yet many are exposed to harm at the hands of those who should protect them.

Through the Save a Child Project, we walk alongside these children on their journey to recovery – providing protection, therapeutic support, and a pathway toward healing.

As the need continues to grow, so does our resolve. We remain committed to acting in the best interests of every child we serve – restoring dignity, rebuilding trust, and helping them move from trauma to hope.
