Goals
and Objectives
Of course our primary aim is
to provide a safe shelter for the many needy kids in the area who would
have nowhere to go if such a facility were not available. From the
inception of Intyatyambo to the present, our more specific goals have
changed dramatically. We want to help more destitute children and we want
to raise the funds to meet the associated costs. We want to build a happy,
safe, environmentally pleasing, fantastic care centre with a hygienic
kitchen and clinic/sick room, bedrooms, playrooms and a garden with
swings, slides, jungle gyms and other kids' stuff.
The
new home:
We envisage building a new
care-centre in the same area. This requires buying a plot, or ideally, two
adjacent plots on which to build. We have spoken to several materials and
building companies in South Africa about donations in expertise, time,
training and materials. So far we have attracted a lot of positive
interest but no concrete commitments to date.
One of the volunteers, a
builder and handyman became involved with the project after meeting a
fundraiser on the streets of Sea Point. He has committed to train up to 10
men and women from the area to become competent builders. Their first
training project after getting basic instruction at a building learning
centre will be to complete the orphanage under his supervision.
Awareness
– Publicity - Fundraising:
Our aim is to spread the word
about whom we are and what we need to do for the children.
Juliet Curtis
and Andrea Petterson have been very
active in this field, and in a very short time have achieved amazing
results. Donations have started coming in, thanks to their untiring efforts.
We received donations locally to see us over the winter months with
regards to food, clothing, bedding, and all the other bare essentials.
Lewis Stores, a South African appliance and furniture store, recently
donated a stove, fridge, microwave oven, washing machine, cooking pots and
a toaster: all very important items!
