How does this gift help?
In Durban, South Africa, access to safe child care facilities for refugee families is limited. Many refugees are single parents or have taken in orphans or children who have been seperated from their parents while escaping their country. A start-up kit for home-based carers, including paints, brushes, crayons and blocks, aims to strengthen the care provided for children in these vulnerable communities, making sure they have fun, educational toys and clean, safe areas where they can play and learn. “Giving children a safe and protected place to grow and develop is providing them with a better chance to overcome many of the issues faced by this marginalised community.” Wendell Westley, Program Officer, Oxfam Australia
