ku KIND - charity fundraising

kidsunlimited are fundraising to create a better environment for the children of Masibusiswe Cape Town.

Established in 1990 as a crèche and occupying two buildings, the facility in Khayelitsha in Cape Town, Africa, caters for approximately 123 children ranging from six months to six years. Many of the town’s residents are unemployed, but those lucky enough to find work are required to leave early in the mornings and work well into the evening, with the result being that many of the children are left unattended and without food & drink.

Things have only got worse for these children since heavy rainfall in 2010 devastated the building and caused the loss of the top floor. The situation for these children is now desperate.

In order to continue to provide essential childcare services, they are dependent on outside assistance and fundraising, and that’s where kidsunlimited come in!

A number of kidsunlimited nurseries have been working to raise funds for Masibusiswe nursery since 2005.

All donations have been distributed via the Lions’ Club and we receive regular reports on the nursery’s progress and their fundraising accounts.

It costs £70,000 for a new two storey building, and kidsunlimited is determined to help them reach their target by pledging to raise £35,000 towards it. £35,000 will build a new single storey nursery and our money will enable them to build a second storey to accommodate all of the children.

There will be regular updates and photos of all the fundraising activites and progress reports on here, so please keep checking back.
