UMMA AFRIKA has its beginnings in skills development of people in rural areas within the greater South Africa.
We found ourselves developing a heart for the basic survival needs of our children especially towards the Orphans and Vulnerable Children left orphaned due to high HIV/Aids deaths. Many of these children are left to become part of a home where often the eldest child will be no more than 12 years of age and left responsible for the others. Many of these children have diseases such as HIV/Aids and TB and have to take scheduled medication daily for their conditions. Most of these children do not have any food and therefore, we are desperately seeking donations.
Our main focus has become to provide these children with at least one meal a day which prevents them from taking medication on an empty stomach. This has many wonderful other benefits, contributing to the mental alertness and overall well-being of these children.
In the area of Soshanguve, 2 hours north of Johannesburg, South Africa, the Bana Ba Kgosi Drop in Centre caters to 3 schools (primary and high) in the immediate area. UMMA AFRIKA has helped the school in sourcing funding towards 700 of these children for one meal a day. Our need is for donations, with which we can purchase food, to send home with the children that will provide them with a meal at dinnertime.
We appreciate any contributions towards UMMA AFRIKA Charity Trust and ensure you that 100% of these food parcels received are delivered to the Drop In Centre, monitored by UMMA AFRIKA and taken straight into the homes and lives of these children. The impact of this is life giving and brings hope where there is very little of anything else.
