Too many kids worldwide cannot go to school. Their parents have to work all day, so they have to babysit their siblings. There is no money to pay for school. Or there simply is no school nearby.
We help to educate teachers and (re)building schools so children are provided with solid education.
Many children worldwide experience malnourishment and stunted growth. An often monotonous diet is the only thing they have access to. This results in many children having disabilities like bad eyesight or an underdeveloped brain.
Our food program helps children to eat a varied, well-balanced diet and to be monitored in how the food impacts their health for at least a year.
By building a school, food forest or educating teachers, we create employment for the locals surrounding the community.
We aim to work only with local people and businesses and help them grow.
In South Africa, breathtaking landscapes contrast starkly with deep inequality, especially in education and basic needs.
It started in 2018 with a crèche: a playground, eco-toilets, a vegetable garden, and nutrition for 57 children. But we knew we had to do more.
That’s why we purchased 2 acres near Hoedspruit, where 14,000 school-age children live. Our first priority? Water. We secured funding to drill, and needed a fence and security to protect it. Now, it’s time for the next step. A solar-powered pump, a facility building and a community vegetable garden to fight malnutrition and to provide the commmunity with a decent place to work on the land.
Here, many families survive on a single income, supporting seven people on average. Without proper food, children struggle in school, falling behind before they even begin.
Access to water and nutrition is the first step toward a healthier, educated future. Will you help us take it?
In the Netherlands, we have opportunities that children in South Africa can only dream of.
But with you we have the power and the courage to change that.
Too many children in South Africa suffer from malnutrition, stunting their growth, affecting their health, and limiting their ability to learn. Without proper nutrition and clean water, their future remains uncertain.
By providing daily meals and fresh water, we can help these children grow up healthy, stay focused in school, and break the cycle of poverty. Not just for themselves, but for their entire families.
With something as simple as our time and resources, we can transform lives. Will you join us?
By focusing on vitality in the Netherlands through partnerships with gyms and lifestyle organisations, we contribute to a healthier future for children in South Africa.
We do this by taking on and organizing sports challenges, such as the Singelloop or mindset sessions. All proceeds from these challenges go directly to our foundation.
This way, you and your team work together towards a shared goal. We want to inspire you and your company to join us in improving your vitality through movement, teamwork, and shared commitment.
