Children with disabilities face many struggles, especially in the underprivileged and under serviced areas. Lack of knowledge of the child’s condition, lack of resources, lack of facilities that offer care and assistance, limited transport options and the stigma surrounding disabilities are only a few of the struggles they face every day.
We address these problems by providing therapeutic intervention (done by Physio -, Occupational – and Speech therapists). We establish temporary outreach clinics and conduct home visits for children who do not have access to Care Centres. We also offer Hambisela training for facilitators, parents, caregivers and individuals with Cerebral Palsy.

As an institution committed to excellence, while increasing student access, Stellenbosch University aims to ensure that all students are able to complete their studies with dignity. Despite the announcement of fee-free education, the caps on student costs result in funding gaps. These shortfalls result in students not having access to basic necessities, like food, especially around exam time. With all the challenges that they face – hunger should not be the reason that they fall out of the race. We need your help to raise support for a food bank on our Stellenbosch and Tygerberg campuses.

We are here not for income, but for outcome. The Breast Health Foundation (BHF), is a Not for Profit established in April 2002 in conjunction with several companies and organisations to educate the public on breast cancer and breast health, increase awareness and empower women. Since it’s inception, the BHF has developed into a transparent and effective organisation which reaches our nation’s women. The money that is raised is used to teach women – those who have had and those who have not had breast cancer – to spread the word of the importance of self-examination and medical examinations. The BHF aims to put to rest myths surrounding breast cancer and to provide an open forum where women feel that they can come forward with their problems. Traditionally, women in Africa have been seen as the heart and soul of the family. By ensuring their health and by educating them, the health education messages are passed on to children, husbands and partners.

Ari’s Cancer Foundation, established in 2012, is run by 11 voluntary committee members inspired by the life of a vibrant young lady Ariana (Ari), who lost her battle to cancer at the age of 24.
The foundation is affiliated with the Red Cross Children’s Hospital, St Luke’s Hospice and Groote Schuur Hospital, and raises funds for Youth Booths (see our website for more information) and to provide support for families that are fighting or living with cancer. Many of these families have no financial support, medical aid or medical insurance schemes to cover the high expense of cancer treatment.

The Children’s Hospital Trust is an independent nonprofit organisation established in 1994 to raise funds to support specific projects and programmes to help advance child healthcare through the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital – the first stand-alone tertiary hospital, exclusively for children, in sub-Saharan Africa. The Trust raises funds for the upgrade and expansion of the Hospital’s buildings, the purchase of state-of-the-art medical equipment, new medical treatment programmes and funds the training of medical professionals across Africa – ensuring that the Hospital not only retains its world-class stature, but is able to continue providing life-changing and life-saving care for children. The Trust relies on donations in order to fund these needs. When you donate to the Trust, every cent goes towards funding projects and programmes that change children’s lives (and the lives of the people who love them.) The operational costs of the Trust are funded from an endowment, so your generous contributions are never used to cover administration costs.

From humble beginnings in 2003, Mamelani has evolved into a vibrant and well-established community development organisation. Deriving our name from the isiXhosa phrase ‘masimamelaneni’ which means ‘we must listen to each other’, we believe it is through listening to the people that we work with, that real transformation is possible. Over the last 15 years, we have developed two impactful interventions – Our Community Health Programme and Our Youth Development Programme.

Vuleka – meaning to Open
The RBPS Vuleka Trust is a non-profit organization that is about opening up educational opportunities to boys from disadvantaged communities. The Trust enables boys who have been denied access to a good education through financial disadvantage to attend Rondebosch Boys Preparatory School. But Vuleka is also about opening up the school, to help it to embrace the challenges of our new democracy and be a positive role player in the transformation of our society. Monies raised by the RBPS Vuleka Trust are therefore utilised for the payment, or part-payment, of school fees, uniforms,stationery, remedial and language lessons deemed necessary to enhance and uphold the dignity of pupils enrolled at RBPS whose families find themselves in marginalised and financially disadvantaged positions. This support has been invaluable in enabling the boys to feel integrated, and enabling the school to transform its learner population to better reflect South African society. The extremely positive feedback from teachers has highlighted the difference the Vuleka Trust is making in the lives of these pupils, their families and the school.

Feenix is an online platform that enables tertiary students in need of funding, to take their education funding goals into their own hands, by telling their story and sharing their experiences.
Allowing individuals, just like you, to contribute to their outstanding university fees and make a positive and lasting change in their lives.
Rising out of a shared belief that education is vital to breaking the cycle of poverty, there was an enormous sense of wanting to help in whatever way possible, and a frustration at the lack of channels available to provide that help. A crowdfunding solution was established to create a network of givers by connecting individuals, businesses and students on one platform and provide access through alternative education funding.

The Bumble Bee Fund was founded to help families struggling with the cost of providing an environment and mobility equipment that would allow their children to live out their full potential. Aerodynamically the Bumble Bee shouldn’t be able to fly but the bee doesn’t know this, so it defies the odds and keeps on flying. Disabled children are often the same while not knowing what their limitations are, they defy the odds and exceed all expectations.
We would love you to sign up as a Bumble Bee Fund Rider for the 2019 Cape Town Cycle Tour. In 2018 we raised funds for various children in need including: Sipho and Bajongile who suffer from Cerebral Palsy, Zahria who suffers from Spastic Quadriplegia and Gabriel who has Spinal Muscular Atrophy.

Solidarity Helping Hand was established in 1949 in response to the poverty crisis after the Second World War. Today, our Helping Hand service extends much further – from children to the elderly – with a specific focus on alleviating, preventing and breaking free from poverty. We believe the best way to do this is through training and skills transfer, with a particular focus on preventing children from falling into the poverty spiral. Helping Hand functions within the Solidarity movement as a non-profit company that generates its own funds.
A large part of Solidarity Helping Hand’s work is focused on relieving the suffering of vulnerable people. We believe that children, the disabled and the elderly should receive unconditional assistance. Although projects run by our more than 160 branches countrywide are dealing with this job exceptionally well, the feeling that more could be done always persists. Helping Hand is as strong as its communities and we need their ongoing support to help us maintain our goals.
