Traditional families are fast disappearing off the face of the African Continent through war, poverty and disease. As concerned citizens, we are called to intervene at this time to provide comfort and care to those who survive this onslaught.

Each person has a unique purpose, specific gifts and talents, and great potential as such their lives are as precious and meaningful to us as is any other who share our world. At Just One Child we start with the children; those abandoned by parents, grandparents, and society.

Our aim is to create blended family units blind to race, gender, colour, creed or health status. Through these families children are loved, nurtured, supported and cared for in a normal environment. Our children are normalized, not instituionalised.

Our congratulations and thanks to Liz Hay in London who braved temperatures of over 30 degrees in London (!) to run the British 10km London race on Sunday 2 July for Just One Child. This was Liz's first race and she raised over £600 for Just One Child! If you would like to compete in a sports event for us, please email jen@justonechild.co.za to get a fundraising pack.
