Achievements so far!

Avuxeni, Minjane? Umfekile Minjane!

Thank you for all that you have done for the children of Limpopo!

Through you we have been able to hold children's camps, adult introduction to scouting camps, warrant camps, tutor camps and a myriad of other smaller activities that we do not have a sponsor for. Through you we have supplemented the Children’s Project and the SHG Project when there has been a shortfall.

Through you we have been able to move into a new office space and it literally feels like we are growing up as an organization from our meagre beginnings of work out of my kitchen in 2007 till 2018.

Throughout the course of these last 2 years we have:

A new look Board
A new Constitution
A new marketing tools including new logo
A new vehicle (the other died of old age)
A new office space
A new database system for collating information
4 new staff with 4 more coming in 2025. (The salaries are funded by an institutional donor just not the associated costs)
New Policies and Procedures
Our audits have returned clean each year as per usual
Our staff all attended Cape Town for POW WOW (an annual get together for all the pack scouters, those who work with children aged 7-11yrs) for 4days which was a huge adventure as only one had been on a plane before, some of the staff had never been Johannesburg before.
We are now integrating our SHG project with Scouts so our volunteers are increasing as is our footprint with the number of children we serve.

You have made this possible. So much of this work is not covered by our formal donors but comes from people like you who want to make a BIG difference, and you do!

Thank you so much

Blessings

Louise
