We are a registered South African Non-Profit Company (NPC Reg. No. 2018/422030/08) and Public Benefit Organisation (PBO No. 930065154), founded in August 2018. We are driven by a deep commitment to bring hope, healing, and restoration to children who have been abandoned & abused.
Our passion lies in standing in the gap for vulnerable children — ensuring they are not forgotten, but instead seen, supported, and given the opportunity to grow into their full potential.
Our work is primarily rooted in the Overberg region of South Africa, where we collaborate with child protection services, social workers, and local organisations to restore hope and create lasting impact — one child at a time.
We fund access to professional counselling and therapy for children in the welfare system who have experienced trauma, abandonment or abuse.
Although we are not therapists or counsellors ourselves, we partner with trusted professionals and welfare organisations to ensure children receive the emotional support they need to heal and thrive.
We collaborate with social workers, child protection services, and local communities to make a lasting difference in the lives of vulnerable children.
