Helping children shine

THE IMPILO STORY

Imagine a world with no light…

A place where darkness rules. Where there is no love, no belonging, no hope…

This is the kind of world, where many of our children in South Africa live…

Poverty stricken…

Orphaned…

Abandoned…

Abused…

Neglected…

Raped…

Facing a crisis pregnancy alone…

“There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way in which it treats its children.”

Nelson Mandela

‘to give life’ in Zulu, was launched in 2003, initially with the aim of providing a place of safety for children in need of care from birth to 4 years,and now we serve 150 children and families.

IMPILO

dedicated to building a thriving community for our children

We are a committed team…

Our vision is to build optimal partnerships, families and

creative sustainable solutions to

ensure that every child that Impilo encounters has

the best possible chance to reach

their full potential

In this we are guided by our values of…

Care & protection

Partnership & collaboration

Creative empowerment

The value of humanity

Impilo offers a homely environment to children, in the transitional period

before being returned to their parents or extended family or

placed in an adoptive or foster home

We believe, given the right opportunities and care, children have unlimited potential

However, to solve the problem

of our orphaned, abandoned

& vulnerable children, we need positive & proactive solutions

& plans

Our aim is to empowering our children to SHINE

We offer safety, care & protection to our children

We are an empathetic

partner to a range

of stakeholders

We have in-depth knowledge & insight into the challenges that face our country

And strive to find creative solutions to

solvethese problems

So that our children, our staff, our partners & our community feel inspired, empowered, supported & loved

when they engage with us

We are about far more than child protection & care

We are about partnering communities, unifying a nation, & celebrating life

We strive to empower our children to shine
