What an incredible year 2016 was for the Topsy Foundation!
2016 certainly was a jam-packed year filled with ups and downs, but fortunately far more ups than downs.
We are, as always, so extremely grateful to everyone who continues to believe in us and in the work we are doing in rural South Africa.
Topsy met this beautiful little girl, Karabo, who has Cerebral Palsy, and who desperately needed help with her buggy/wheelchair which was in disrepair. Her family lives in poverty and could not afford to get her buggy fixed. With a little bit of TLC, the before and after photos say it all! Look at her stunning smile! We serve the community in many different ways, but this has got to be one of our favourite transformations.
Our staff were fortunate to have been trained on the incredible HearX App. An App that you can use on a phone or tablet, with the use of headphones, to perform hearing and vision testing on site. This means that we can identify those children who have difficulty hearing or a sight impariment straight away and then get them the help that they need in order to lead normal lives.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support this year and for believing in the work that we are doing. Your valued partnership allows us to make our vision to develop thriving, sustainable communities by creating lasting transformation in individual's lives a reality.
We are extremely excited for a successful and busy 2017 where we can impact more lives and help be a part of the positive change.
