YOUTH WITH A VISION

Über uns

Youth With A Vision (YWAV)is a not-for profit community based organisation dedicated to defending and advocating for the rights of the disadvantaged children, so that we create for them fairer avenues and opportunities to achieve productive and sustainable livelihoods, through education, care and support.

We are running the following projects

Foster Families
We have three foster families and were created as a result of the increase in isolated, abandoned and neglected children mainly due to HIV/AIDS and poverty. Some children stay full time in these foster families while other children have to come for day care activities - this is because of the lack of adequate facilities to accommodate a big number of children. The idea is that through the foster families, we provide complete care for the registered children. Currently in each foster home we can only offer food supplies to the children due to limited resources. Some children with sponsors, we provide to them full support.
