“The Wonderful World of Kids” is a community based early childhood development programme. The programme aims to establish care points/pre-school centres in squatter camps throughout South Africa and at sites of low income housing projects, initiated by the government.
The care points will provide education, nutritious food, medical services and a safe environment for children to play and develop.
The Benjamin Dube Foundation created “Wonderful World of Kids” to fill an urgent need in our communities to care for young children who are poverty stricken; some orphaned due to HIV/AIDS or because of chronic unemployment and family structures disintegrating due to the effects of poverty.
This project has potential, and currently seek sponsorship from individuals and businesses to continue building care points. The benefits of sponsorship are manifold and sponsorship is available in three packages:
1.R50 to R10 000 – a donation in this group will significantly change a child’s life and the donor will be published in our annual publications.
2.R11 000 to R100 000 – this will assist in the building of a care point and qualifies the donor to be considered for the care point to be named after the individual or business.
3.R110 000 to R155 000 – a donation in this bracket enables a care point to proceed and the care point is immediately named after the sponsor, even as it is being built.
(The sponsor can also name the care point in memory of a relative or family friend. It is a life time honour)
All Care points have inauguration ceremonies, and pride and positivity is generated for a sponsoring organisation and its employees through these events, particularly when a care point is named after the major sponsor.
There are many opportunities to publish this sponsorship and continue the relationship with the care point – which creates valuable intangible benefits for the sponsoring organisation, including positive impacts on staff morale and learning experiences that last a lifetime.
In the longer term, great goodwill for businesses and a sense of long lasting impact is achieved by sponsoring care points that stay in communities for many years, assisting thousands of growing children and becoming an integral part of a community in need.
(The sponsor will also be adverstised/marketed in all major gospel music shows of Pastor Benjamin Dube)
(For many years, I have been willing to be involved in the work of caring for poverty stricken children, through my concern for these vulnerable groups. I firmly believe, and have seen, that it is possible to alleviate the problems affecting South Africa’s children if we all collectively work together to make a difference and this; (foundation/project is a way to thank and plough back to the community through children) We are actively seeking sponsorship for our care points and we would be grateful for an opportunity to discuss and demonstrate our vision and the principles of our foundation to you.
