What is the Child Headed Household?
A living situation / arrangement wherein a child has taken charge of a household in terms of decision-making responsibilities as well as the responsibility to provide for the physical, social and emotional needs of others living with that particular child, regardless of familial relationship. This includes households where there are adults who may be too sick or too old to effectively head the household and a child of any age bears this responsibility.
In South Africa it is not uncommon today to have minors care for their younger siblings and / or older and ill parents or family. These minors heading up households are making important health, financial and residential decisions for themselves and for other minors. These are known as Child-headed households (CHH).
What is the Child Headed Household Funeral Benefit?
It is a burial benefit that has been established for these ZCC churchgoing children who pass away. This benefit is for certain ZCC minor members only, specifically those ZCC Churchgoing children who are minors in a CHH or who take care of other minors. These are children who do not qualify due to age for a traditional burial benefit. This so that they too can be laid to rest in a humane and dignified manner without any financial burden.
Who qualifies for this?
ZCC church going children under the age of 18 living in these households qualify for this discretionary benefit.
