Challenge

Children are a particularly vulnerable group within severely poverty stricken communities. There are over 4 million orphans in South Africa, about half of whom have lost one or both parents to AIDS, with the majority of these children living in child-headed households or with elderly relatives. These vulnerable families, who have little or no access to education, healthcare & social services are Topsy's beneficiaries. Topsy's serves 3 impoverished communities in Mpumalanga, South Africa.

Solution

Provide holistic support to Early Childhood Development Centres in the communities we serve. Provide a sustainable food source for the community through the planting of vegetable gardens. Provide vulnerable children with educational resources; Provide practitioners with relevant training. Provide social support, assisting with accessing government grants and care.

Long-Term Impact

We are contributing to building a future generation of well adjusted children in poverty stricken, rural communities in the hope that they reach their full potential.
