Wow, what an exciting time it is. We are on the verge of #GivingTuesday a day when over 70nations around the world push back from the materialism of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, to give to non-profit organizations who are changing the world on your behalf. We are a grassroots organization that relies on individual donors like you, for the work that we cannot get formally funded through large corporations.
#GivingTuesday starts on 3rd December at 0001 Eastern Standard Time USA or
0900 Pretoria Time RSA or
1900 Adelaide Australia Time.
Check out where you live the correct time zone. #GivingTuesday lasts for 24hrs however dont fret if you miss the date and time because Global Giving will be operating an end of year campaign until the 31st of December!
At Keep The Dream196 we recognise that not everyone is able to come and see what is happening on the ground in Limpopo, the logistics and resources that are required far out way the financial means of many of our supporters. I know you would visit if you could and you would be most welcome if you would like to see the impact of our work first hand.
Your investment has yielded the following impact to date:
1. Reduced Teenage Pregnancy from 13% to 0.07% within KTD196. 12 girls in 16yrs have become pregnant instead of over 2,000 that would be statistically probable with out KTD196 interventions;
2. Reduced 70% of children involved in crime or victims of crime to 1 child involved in crime in over 14,000 children in 16yrs we have had one child arrested and was deemed incompetent to stand trial;
3. Reduce teenage suicide from 12.7% deaths to 0% in our program;
4. Increase matriculation pass rates from governments 62% to KTD196 pass rate of 90%
Are you aware that:
$4 enables one child to attend KTD196’s program for 1 month
$40 gives 2kgs worth of seeds for 25 children to build their own food gardens and develop their farming skills
$200 a month sponsors a group of 50 children attending the program for a month.
$270/month employs a Field Officer to visit the groups and implement the program in 23different groups per month including transport.
$1,500 enables us to take 50 scouts to camp for 5days and train them as HIV Peer Educators, First Aiders and Leadership Skills
We need to continue our services to the children of Limpopo Province. Please partner with us and help us expand our services to touch and change more lives during #GivingTuesday. It is only through your support that this impact is possible. We are changing lives, we are saving lives and we are giving life to hopeless, disenfranchised children that otherwise would become victims of poverty, drug and alcohol abuse, hopelessness and suicide.
On #GivingTuesday the more money we raise in comparison to our peers on GlobalGiving on the 3rd of December, Global Giving is giving $500K in matching funds, so as you donate we get a double share! Can you help us?
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.
I am asking for your ongoing support and I thank you in anticipation
Your colleague and partner
