The One Child Matters sponsorship is as little as R90.00 / US$13.00 a month ... but it rewrites the destiny of a forgotten child.
TAKE YOUR TIME AND WATCH THE VIDEO BELOW. JUST CLICK:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4NlyZqJhwk&feature=player_embedded

NB: A “One Time Donation” is acceptable; but we encourage a sponsorship that will maintain a child on monthly basis.We also accept donations such as clothing (for children of ages 2 to 11); blankets, bed sheets, beds for children, food, toys, educational material and medical supply e.g. children medicine.
We have 300 children in our sponsorship list:

You are invited to partner with One Child Matters

“The Wonderful World of Kids” is a community based early childhood development programme. The programme aims to establish care points/pre-school centres in squatter camps throughout South Africa and at sites of low income housing projects, initiated by the government.

The care points will provide education, nutritious food, medical services and a safe environment for children to play and develop.

The One Child Matters created “Wonderful World of Kids” to fill an urgent need in our communities to care for young children who are poverty stricken; some orphaned due to HIV/AIDS or because of chronic unemployment and family structures disintegrating due to the effects of poverty.

This project has potential, and currently seek sponsorship from individuals and businesses to continue building care points. The benefits of sponsorship are manifold and sponsorship is available in three packages:

1.R90 to R10 000 – a donation in this group will significantly change a child’s life and the donor will be published in our annual publications.

2.R11 000 to R100 000 – this will assist in the building of a care point and qualifies the donor to be considered for the care point to be named after the individual or business.

3.R110 000 to R155 000 – a donation in this bracket enables a care point to proceed and the care point is immediately named after the sponsor, even as it is being built.

(The sponsor can also name the care point in memory of a relative or family friend. It is a life time honour)

All Care points have inauguration ceremonies, and pride and positivity is generated for a sponsoring organisation and its employees through these events, particularly when a care point is named after the major sponsor.

There are many opportunities to publish this sponsorship and continue the relationship with the care point – which creates valuable intangible benefits for the sponsoring organisation, including positive impacts on staff morale and learning experiences that last a lifetime.

In the longer term, great goodwill for businesses and a sense of long lasting impact is achieved by sponsoring care points that stay in communities for many years, assisting thousands of growing children and becoming an integral part of a community in need.

Someone Help This Family

(Little Bongane Makhanda - 2 years old)

I was touched by the story of Bongani Makhanda (2) narrated to me by his brother Pheelo (10); on how Bongani was burnt. “My brother was sitting next to the traditional stove (imbawula); when suddenly I came across and mistakenly kicked the stove which had boiling water. The water fell on my little brother and my elder brother”. Said Pheelo.

He was very sad when the incident happened. This family stays in a 3x3m room. There are 6 in total; no father in the house. The house is built out of corrugated irons. The family survives on monthly grants which is spent within 3 days. The mother is unemployed. We appeal to God’s children to help this family.

Food Parcels for Kids - Love A Child, Support A Child

It was yet another day of joy amongst the children of Silahliwe Squatter Camp in the Vaal, Midvaal Municipality as 40 children received their food parcels. The food was donated by Foodbank SA and dsitributed by the One Child Matters.

We also had a visitor from Queen's Unirvesity of Canada who helped us in the distribution of food parcels.

“I am happy today, I will eat cornflakes.” Said a happy 4 year old Emihle Kraba who was carrying her box of kellog’s and yorgurt on the other hand. The parents were watching with excitement as their children were receiving their food parcels. “This is new in this squatter camp. We hope Foodbank and the One Child Matters could continue feeding our children.” Said a jubilant parent.

Everything went well and the food was distributed evenly to all children who were present. We started with the younger ones, between the age of 3 and 7 years old. We then distributed what remained to those children who are between 8 and 11.

One Child Matters would like to thank Foodbank SA for their support. We encourage this initiative and we hope our partnership runs for many years to come as we provide to our future leaders; our future doctors, presidents, teachers, nurses of our country.

We hope and believe that South Africa can eradicate hunger if we all collectively work together as a nation. Thankyou Foodbank.

(The pain of the loss)

Fire killed 5 family members in a shack in Silahliwe Squatter Camp in the Vaal, Midvaal Municipality. Two children who were not in the shack on the night survived the fire. The two are Nthatho (12) and Nthabiseng (9).

This occured on the night of 17th July 2010. The fire was suspected to have been caused by the burning traditional heater “imbawula”. It was a sad situation as the community bid farewell to their neighbours. All eyes were on the two remaining kids.

There are more than 4000 children between the age of 2 and 11 who live in Silahliwe Squatter Camp. Most of the people live in 3x3 shacks. Each shack can accommodate 3 to 7 people. The area has no electricity; no clean water; and there’s no safe place for children to play. Pre-School kids are kept in shack classrooms, and those who attend school walk long distances to sschool.

One Child Matters operates in this squatter camp. The aim is to provide full meal to the kids on daily basis; provide pre-school education; provide medical attention; and create a safe environment for the children to live and play.

One Child Matters would like to take this opportunity to send its condolences to the family of the victims, especially the remaining two children; to the community members of Silahliwe and to the whole leadership of Silahliwe.

We would like to invite and call upon everyone to partner with the One child Matters to help the community of Silahliwe. Please call Solomon on: +27 72 356 8282 or Precious on: +27 76 896 7139. You can send an email to: meya@webmail.co.za
