True-North Early Childhood Development

True North is a non-profit organisation, that is pioneering Early Childhood Development (ECD) initiatives within marginalised communities.

Vicky Kumm and her team are transforming the lives of thousands of children in Vrygrond. It is the oldest fisherman village of Cape Town, now home to over 42 000 people with very few facilities. Growing from looking after 4 pre-schools, now the project supports 32 different learning facilities within the wider area, including Overcome. Vicky has our full support, we are very happy raising funds for such an incredible and visionary organization over the years!

Butterfly Art Project

The Butterfly Art Project was founded in October 2010 with the vision to encourage creativity and healing through art.

Angela Katschke is a qualified therapist who is doing magic with her team and volunteers. It is very traumatic to live in a real township environment and many of the young children are suffering on a daily basis. Angela grew her project out of her home and now, she helps thousands of kids in the very first free-standing art therapy building in SA located at Capricorn Primary School. We are very happy supporting her efforts and being part of her dream; raising healthy, fully rounded happy individuals!

The LifeMatters Foundation

The LifeMatters Foundation was established in 2002 by Meadowridge Baptist Church to serve the youth of the greater Constantiaberg area.

They provide learning support to children in the field of literacy, numeracy, counselling, mentoring and a teenage awareness camp that we have proudly supported for years. Currently 368 learners receiving literacy support across 5 schools and 60 learners receiving numeracy support across 2 schools.

Trained volunteers work with learners at an individualised pace and we see improvements of up to 65% after only 6 months of support.
