Our Charities

According to current estimates, more than 1.4 million South African children have been orphaned by AIDS. In 2002, the magnificent Carol Dyanti founded Ikageng Itireleng AIDS Ministry, creating a new family for orphans living in child-headed households in Soweto, South Africa. Ikageng Itireleng AIDS Ministry oversees the care of over 1,715 children in 330 homes throughout Soweto. ikageng All of these children live in child-headed households, and have seen firsthand the true devastation of AIDS. Ikageng provides mentoring, life skills, and counselling to help children in these child-headed households grow into well-developed adults who can contribute to their communities. Siblings continue to live together in their homes, creating strong sibling solidarity and promoting the family structure. Through the provision of basic needs such as food, clothing, transportation, water, electricity, school fees, healthcare and transport, KCA helps Ikageng relieve some of the pressure and despair faced by these young children, who, having lost their parents, must take on adult roles.

Dear Soul

Thank you Passionate Parenting and generous contributors. Your Christmas gifts in the shoe-boxes were an absolute delight to these children of Soweto, Johannesburg. Each child in the family unit had a specially prepared gift, and they were thrilled and excited to receive new and beautiful items. It made a big impact on them and such moments get embedded in the child's character and become part of their souls. Thank you giving value, love and appreciation.

Happiness consists in giving and serving others and we hope you are just as fulfilled

Keep doing for others the benefits of compassion and thoughtful gestures are immeasurable.

If we fail to help we diminish ourselves -Barrack Obama.

Thank you once again

I applaud your efforts to organise parenting workshops, it's certainly a very worthy initiative. I … see it as one of the most important preventative steps a community can make towards safeguarding and optimizing the well-being of children.
