Objectives of the infant trust

We are a ground-breaking charity - the only UK-based organisation exclusively setting out to break the cycle of violence and abuse against small children in South Africa and to protect the most vulnerable.

We don’t just give money; we visit frequently, listen intently and work with many organisations in partnership setting up projects that make a real and substantial difference to children, to individuals, to families and to communities. By now, we know what works -

The main focus of our work is to break the cycle of abuse through:

  1. Empowering women, and men and communities
  2. Concentrating on orphans and children left vulnerable, largely through the HIV/AIDS epidemic
