KTD196 started unofficially in 2003 after a focus group with 180 Home Based Care volunteers who were very stressed about the problems facing the orphaned and vulnerable children of their villages. We see the impact of our work every day and it is so encouraging to see, our kids have a sense of hope, destiny and the life skills to be able to achieve their dreams.
At Keep the Dream 196, we have two programmes, Self Help Groups, focussed on equipping and training adults, and Children’s Programmes teaching children to overcome difficult life circumstances by building resilience, physically, emotionally, spiritually and psychologically.

Who would have thought it would happen! Let me give you the back story just in case you don’t know it. In 2003, I came to South Africa to work with the Department of Health and seconded to another Non Governmental Organization in Tzaneen. It was there I met Zabe (Elizabeth – our program manager). After a SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats Analysis) with approx. 200 Home Based Care Workers, I was tasked to “Do Something” for the kids of Greater Tzaneen. You see these Home Based Care Workers identified that the children’s plight was so soul destroying, that they struggled with the sense of hopelessness. They felt they could do nothing. This was during a peak HIV/AIDS pandemic, so the kids were reacting to what was happening at home, at school, in their communities, they were not coping. There responses where […]
