The Gift of the Givers
Foundation is the largest disaster relief organisation of African origin on the
African continent. We have delivered
over R300 million in aid to 25 countries around the world, including South Africa.
We have designed and developed the world’s first and largest containerised
mobile hospital, which was deployed in Bosnia. It was comparable to the best hospitals in Europe and remains unmatched to this day.
Besides disaster relief
activities, we run 24 projects , administered by our offices
in South Africa and Malawi. The
projects cover areas such as Health,
Education, Agricultural Sustainability, Life
Skills, Job Creation & Entrepreneurship, Feeding Schemes, Sport &
Culture and Winter Warmth.
In the area of Health, we
developed the world’s first containerised Primary Health Care unit; there are
now 20 units located around the country, serving about 40,000 patients every
month. We innovated the world's first groundnut-soya milk high energy and protein supplement called Sibusiso Ready Food Supplement
indicated for those living with TB,
HIV and Aids and Malnutrition. We
established Careline, a telephonic and face to face counselling service (0800
786 786 Toll free).
We have received 42 awards
to date, three from Heads of
State, all of which recognise
the
contribution we have made in the course of fulfilling our humanitarian
responsibility.
Our assistance is purely
humanitarian and unconditional. We assist irrespective of race, religion, colour, class, political affiliation or geographical boundary.
We are entirely neutral in our approach to mankind in need, are non-judgemental
and have an open-minded approach to all situations. We work with governments to
get our assistance delivered but do not align ourselves politically to any
party. We have an excellent partnership relationship with the South African Government for the
delivery of our local projects, as well as for foreign aid
delivery. Our activities have been
profiled extensively by the media both
locally and internationally.
