WHAT WE DO : We help and support disadvantaged and ill children ‘Out of Africa’, mainly in the (different townships) of the Cape Town area in different ways:
We give love, hands, attention and a smile: Sometimes just being there is enough.
We play: all kinds of educational and fun games, sports and art activities you can think of.
We help: with supervising, meals, homework and activities in aftercare facilities, so that the children stay off the streets.
We are getting things done: arrange and give meals, build and paint playgrounds, furnish facilities, or any other way where hands-on help is needed.
We create tiny miracles:
when wishes from a child, small or big, cross our path we try to make them true. A gown for a gala, sports equipment for a talented kid or even the simple things like school books and uniforms.
We connect & share: bringing organisations and people together to make things happen, create possibilities, give hope and learn from each other’s experience. Together we are strong!
