When a child is separated from their parents, the number helps
identify them and get them back together.
According to City of Cape Town Mayoral Committee Member for
Community Services and Health, Patricia van der Ross, the project is proving to
be a success.
‘We are grateful that the project proved to be a success in
assisting children and caregivers by creating a safer environment. Children
should be cared for and be able to enjoy the outdoors when visiting the many
City beaches,’ said Patricia Van der Ross.
