Save a Child
The beginning years, as Save A Child began its journey in the 90’s, was filled with enthusiasm and the satisfaction of making a difference. Bad management and improper staffing caused the organisation to lose momentum. In 1998, after numerous setbacks and insufficient support, the current chairman injected a substantial amount of his personal funds to get Save A Child back on its feet, with a focus on needy and disabled children.
About Save A Child
In 2002, with a new lease on life, the focus was reset on the cerebral palsied child, as this was the largest contingent in the hands of Save A Child. This grew by over 600%, with just the annual diaper budget creeping toward the R1m mark. It remains our main focus with beneficiaries spread from St Helena Bay on the west coast to Mpumalanga in the east, Durban to George on the south coast and Polokwane in the north.
In addition we are assisting with school feeding at a local school and are planning condensed gardening projects to further self-help attitudes. We plan to expand this over a wider area. Even beneficiary families are involved in and running projects to obtain needed equipment. We are dedicated to making a difference in these children’s lives and we rely on outside help for funding the various projects we work on. The Gallery lists the many different ways that one can help and we look forward to connecting with you.
