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