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
