Help Empower 100 Poor Children South African Slum

This project helps to facilitate the education of children and includes the provision of school uniforms and shoes, meals and care to vulnerable and at-risk children living in the poverty and squalor of the Zandspruit Informal Settlement in Johannesburg. This settlement is composed mainly of tin structures otherwise known as shacks.

Thanks to your kind donations, we are happy to have in the past 6 months presented pairs of shoes to a total of 110 boys and girls from Zandspruit Primary School located within the informal settlement. We certainly would not have been able to do this without your support.

In the next quarter, we will be extending our involvement to the children of the Jerusalem Informal settlement located in Florida, Roodepoort. This additional program will require much more resources which we believe can be raised from multiple sources including a sponsored half-marathon event in 6 months’ time. We plan that this fundraising initiative will coincide with the beginning of the new school year in 2026 and will therefore expand our impact as we cater to the needs of the school going children.

We will keep you informed of our plans and as usual hope for your continued support for which we are ever so grateful.

Thank you

This settlement is composed mainly of tin structures otherwise known as shacks.

Thanks to your kind donations, in the previous quarter we had the immense privilege of presenting a pair of shoes each to 60 boys and girls from Zandspruit Primary School located within the informal settlement. A new pair of shoes was such a welcome gift to the 60 children whose feet would otherwise be in worn out shoes if any at all.

We would have wished to reach many more children with these donations as a new term has just started and the demand for new shoes is even higher. However, we are still receiving donations and hope to place an order of up to100 pairs which we hope to donate later in the next school term. This is all possible because kind donors like you give to facilitate an elementary education for the less privileged children of Zandspruit. As a wise person speaking to school children once said, “You have brains in your head and feet in your shoes, you can steer yourself in any direction you choose.” As donors, you are not just providing necessities such as school shoes for these children but in a seemingly hopeless situation, you are giving them hope for a much brighter future.

We remain always deeply grateful for your support!
