In 2006 is de oprichter begonnen met voetballen met straatkinderen in ‘de stad van de eeuwige lente’ Medellin, Colombia. Na verloop van tijd deed een grote groep kinderen structureel mee. Toen kwam de vraag vanuit de kinderen: ‘Zouden we kunnen voetballen in een officiële competitie?’ ‘Daar wil ik mijn best voor doen, maar dan wil ik dat jullie naar school gaan.’ was zijn antwoord. Zo is de stichting gestart met één jongens- en één meisjesteam. Het was het begin van de stichting Children of Medellín. Nu, in 2022 staat educatie nog steeds centraal, we hebben 500 kinderen in 14 verschillende activiteiten, en wij geven de kans aan jongeren om na de middelbare school een vervolgopleiding te kunnen volgen.

READ to RISE promotes youth literacy in under-resourced communities in South Africa. The organisation hopes to get children excited about reading through its class programmes and by giving new story books to children to own. Children who love to read, will excel at school and go on to become good constructive members of society. It all starts with reading. To date, READ to RISE has conducted over 6,000 class programmes around South Africa and given out over 260,000 new story books. For only R50 per learner, they will benefit from the READ to RISE class programme and receive a brand new book to take home. We work with 20,000 children at 77 primary schools in Mitchells Plain and Soweto.

Can you imagine your wife, your sister, your mother, your daughter birthing a baby alone with no medical supplies, pain medicine, and no one there to help? All over the world, from sub-Saharan Africa to Central America, Asia, even parts of the United States, women are left to give birth alone, without life saving medicines, without pain intervention, and without support. OneMama changes this statistic by bringing medical clinics, midwives and nurses, medical supplies, and a marketplace for women to sell crafts & crops for family sustainability to rural places where people live on less than $1 per day. Just one birthing kit supports a woman giving birth and saves lives!

Ons nieuwe projekt is de aanleg van een sportveld. Umbrella of Hope ondersteunt kinderen uit financieel en sociaal zwakke milieu's in Nyeri - Kenya. Dit doen wij meestal in samenwerking met de Githwariga Primary School. Deze school, met bijna 700 leerlingen, heeft geen sportmogelijkheden. Naast de school is een braakliggend terrein, met voldoende ruimte om een basketbalveld te realiseren. Dat zou een geweldige vooruitgang zijn, tijdens schooluren kunnen de kinderen sporten, na schooltijd kan het veld gebruikt worden door verenigingen. Ons motto: Meedoen is belangrijker dan winnen. Doet u mee??

Stichting Sponsorkind Gambia zet zich in voor de kansarme kinderen in Gambia. In het dorp Manna ondersteunt de stichting een basisschool. Met hulp van de stichting vind er een verbetering plaats m.b.t de kwaliteit van het onderwijs. De muur om de school heen is gebroken. Hierdoor wordt het schoolplein bevuild door de loslopende dieren. De groente welke groeien in de schooltuin krijgen ook geen kans om te groeien. Ze worden opgegeten door de dieren.

Stichting Mtangani biedt goed onderwijs aan 300 kinderen van zeer arme gezinnen in Mtangani, Kenia. De kosten hiervoor worden gedragen door sponsors in Nederland. Voor 12 euro per maand kan een kind bij ons naar school. De kinderen gaan graag naar school, maar de meisjes in de bovenbouw blijven regelmatig thuis als ze menstrueren. Ze missen hierdoor te veel lessen. Tot op heden gebruiken ze oude lappen die niet geschikt zijn om goed de dag door te komen. Met goed (wasbaar)maandverband willen we de meisjes zekerheid bieden en hun verzuim minimaliseren. Voor meer informatie over onze stichting, kijk dan op www.stichtingmtangani.nl of mail naar info@stichtingmtangani.nl

Mwasi Makasi staat voor sterke vrouw. Vrouwen verkrachten is in Congo een standaardoorlogswapen: verkracht alle vrouwen en meisjes in het bijzijn van hun vaders, mannen en zonen en je hebt in één klap de “fabrics of society” vernietigd. Zo verloren vrouwen hun eigenwaarden en worden ze verstoten: ze leven maar bestaan niet meer. Mwasi Makasi zet zich voor deze vrouwen in. Door landbouw activiteiten geeft Mwasi Makasi deze vrouwen een gezicht: ze worden zelfstandig en kunnen een nieuw leven opbouwen en hun kinderen naar school laten gaan. ALLES BEGINT BIJ DE MAMA’S…Wij kunnen niet iedereen helpen maar iedereen kan wel een iemand helpen. Dank alvast voor uw bijdrage.

Without access to accurate menstrual education, girls are often absent from school during menstruation, missing up to four days of school every month. 1/3 of girls in South Africa report staying out of school during menstruation, others drop out of school completely. The reason is often as simple as they cannot afford, or do not have access to, basic feminine hygiene products. Wild Hearts Foundation Africa was founded to keep girls in school, and is committed to addressing the problems of menstrual education and accessible hygiene products while employing women to work in our factory which has manufactured and distributed over 68 000 reusable sanitary pads to school girls.

The youth at our Courage Youth Schools are underserved and continually face issues such as dysfunctional/abusive families, substance abuse, gender-based violence, teen pregnancy and poverty.

As a team, we are passionate and dedicated to helping the youth in South Africa.
