Help The Topsy Foundation - Johannesburg by donating a 10,000L water Tank for water storage at the Play and Learn Centre and Offices
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
Water is a problem in Dipaleseng and we need a water tank for water storage. The water shortage affects the vegetable garden project that feeds the children and hygiene when the children visit the Early Child Development Centre. The Topsy Foundation - a registered Non-Profit Company and Public Benefit Organization – has been serving the rural communities of the sub-district of Dipaleseng situated in Gert Sibande in the most southern part of Mpumalanga for 20 years. Also serving the communities of the Govan Mbeki local Municipality situated in the Gert Sibande District in Mpumalanga. Whilst services provided have shifted over the years in response to community needs, they have always had at their core the focus of the wellbeing of the community, particularly vulnerable women and children. Since 2015, after consultation with the community, services focus on young children under 6 years of age as research indicates that investment during these early, formative years brings the most return in terms of a more educated and prosperous adult population in later years. The intervention has five child-centered components which together provide the basic support and tools that need to be in place so that vulnerable children can be raised in as optimal an environment as possible. Services provided included: Early Learning and Stimulation (3-6) Food Security and Nutrition Primary Healthcare Psycho-social support Parental Support Vision and hearing tests Woman's Health: Pap smear & Colposcopy Training ECD Practitioner: NQF Level 4 & Enrichment
