Kit-a-kid campaign: PROJECT

There are thousands of learners who has never had new school uniform and a result is low self esteem and confidence.   The Kit-a-kid campaign were aiming to Kit their entire data base of 487 needy children with winter school uniform, have a party for all of the recipients, transport them from the various areas and treat them with "goodies" at the hand over party on the 14th of July.  They made use of local celeb's Christo Davids (Errol from 7de Laan) Kim Cloete ( Bianca from Isidingo) and the cast of Kat and the Kings at a Celeb fundraiser on the 7th July at Cape Gate Mall, where the public could get an autographed photo with the celebs, in exchange for a R50 Ackermans voucher. This went toward the R150 that each of their recipients would get.

They then invited all of the recipients who are children from various homes, orphanages and support organisations in areas like Delft, Phillipi, West Lake Side, Mitchells Plain and Bontheuwel to a hand over party om the 14th of July where some face painting were done, games were played, lunch was provided (including some great pizza's from Roman's - THANK YOU!) and entertaining all with the aim of inspiring the kids. They planned on helping 487 children, but managed to help 200 kids between the ages of 6 and 13.  The estimated value of products or services they got sponsored for this project was R50 000 with 15-30 volunteer assisting them.  They consider this project a success as this project has been running for 8 years and has many success stories of previous recipients who's school grades actually inproved after receiving the new uniform and positive interaction at the hand over party.  And yes... this project will continue as Party With a Purpose Productions (a NPO) are working hard towards growing the project to reach more needy children.
