| Background to Projects |
|
Gift of the Givers Foundation has gained its reputation from the provision of disaster response relief and rehabilitation to victims around the world. But locally, our efforts are far-reaching – we run a total of 22 additional projects in South Africa. Our strategy in the provision of social services follows a three-pronged approach – first, as disaster response relief, secondly, as once-off temporary projects, such as the donation to ultrasound machine to GF Jooste Hospital (Cape Town, South Africa), and thirdly, as long-term projects. All our projects are needs-driven; they need to be sustainable and need to make a meaningful difference to the quality of people’s lives.
Gift of the Givers prides itself in trying to be as inclusive as possible in its aid delivery programmes. We therefore take special care in ensuring that aid delivery reaches the most vulnerable and challenged members of our society, in the most dignified manner. This includes recipients who are physically and mentally challenged, hearing and sight compromised, orphaned and vulnerable children and child-headed households.
