Help to build a 24/7 Daycare - School - Place to be in one of the poorest regions South Africas.

Our current project: building a 24h daycare in Huntington, Mpumalanga - Südafrika.

Because we are all doing well, we want to give something back. As a non-profit organization with love and passion, we want to help those, who are left behind.

Huntington, Mpumalanga

Huntington Village is situated within the greater Bushbuckridge area, Mpumalanga and represents the largest concentration of poverty in South Africa - with 70% of the community being economically inactive, yet they live on the border of one of the most prized and valuable natural assets of the country - the Kruger National Park. Youth unemployment is as high as 35%.

With an average annual household income from around R30000 (~1500€) for only 20% of the population, there are not many options, to get good education. And without education, there more or less no chance to escape this poverty.

Our goal for the future

● First of all we want to finish the building

● We want to paint it, together with the kids

and make it a colorful and happy place.

● We want to get furniture and all the things

you need to run a 24h daycare.

● We want to make sure, that they have at

least one warm meal every day and enough food, that no child has to go hungry.

● Make sure, that they have access to fresh water every day

● We would like a small playground on the property

● We want to hire a teacher, to provide educational assistance with the homework and for the little ones, not attending school right now. This teacher should be fluent in English, to help the kids learning this language. Right now most of them speak Xitsonga.

● We want to help the kids, find a way to a better future - this only works with education.
