In the charity's own words
At the moment we operate in South Africa and Uganda. We run school and after school programmes, teaching life skills to children from 4 to 12 years old. Teenagers who have been through the programme are taught leadership skills and trained to lead and care for the younger children. We also visit the children's families, offering emotional and food support where necessary.
