Greetings to all our precious supporters and partners. Your continued support enables us to do the work we are called to do.
I want to thank those new and older champions of Keep The Dream196 for the support you have shown us throughout the years and to remind you that #GivingTuesday is due to start @0001 EST on the 3rd December 2019. This day starts of the End Of Year Campaign by Global Giving.
#GivingTuesday is an international day of charitable giving. Each year, it happens 4days after the USA celebrates Thanksgiving. Every year, #GivingTuesday gets bigger and bigger! Last year, GlobalGiving project partners raised over $2 million for amazing projects around the world.
This #GivingTuesday @GlobalGiving is dividing $150,000 in matching funds among its nonprofit community members. How much we get depends on how much you give! Help us win big.
One of the many things I am excited about for the start of the new year is deciding how best to implement the extra resources from Global Giving’s Giving Tuesday appeal. We have a new program called Meerkats for children aged between 5-7yrs that we would love to start. We also want to strategically plan expansion to our current program and impact more children than ever before.
Impact such as:
1) Reduced teenage pregnancy from 13% in Limpopo to 0.07% in our program sustained for 16years
2) Matriculation pass rate is 62% in Limpopo, in our program it is 92% for 10years
3) Nationally 12.7% of all natural deaths amongst children are suicide; we have had 0% suicides in our program
4) 70% of the 20million (or 14Million) South African youth are more likely to be victims and perpetrators of assault, robbery, rape and murder than adults. We have had one child while in our program out of over 12,000 in 16yrs be arrested. He was then found unable to stand trial because of incompetence.
4) All of our children have to go to school to be a part of our program; children actually drop back in to school to take part in our program.
Once again I am asking you to assist us in our work to change lives and impact families and communities.
On #GivingTuesday The more money we raise in comparison to our peers on GlobalGiving on the 27th November 0001 EST; 0700 Pretoria time and 1530 Adelaide time, Global Giving will match this amount giving $150K in matching funds, so as you donate we get a double share! Can you help?
Also, if you start a new monthly donation any time from now until December 31st, Global Giving will double your first donation. These are all ways you can maximise your gift to the children of Limpopo Province. You will know your donation will make a difference in the life of many children for life!
Thank you in anticipation of your support
Louise
