Founded in 2006, Operation Smile South Africa (OSSA) medical volunteers provide free constructive surgeries to children and adults throughout Southern and Central Africa.  OSSA also places an emphasis on providing training and educational opportunities to both its volunteers and rural health care providers in order to build capacity and create self-sustainable systems in South Africa.  Operation Smile has provided Basic Life Support and Pediatric Advanced Life Support training to doctors throughout South Africa.

The Adopt- a-School Foundation was established in 2002 with the purpose of addressing the needs of underprivileged schools throughout the country. The needs of our country’s young people are paramount – and for a good future we need to ensure their education. 2011 marked the adoption of our 100th school, the list continues to grow.

With an investment of over R50 million, we’ve built 2 entire new schools, added amongst other structures over 120 new classrooms, computer centres, science labs, administration blocks, ablution facilities and renovated over 25 schools. We’ve provided nearly 3000 temporary jobs, benefitted 185 SMMEs and supported ongoing training for educators and principals. In addition we have donated 446 soccer and netball kits and given literacy support to over 700 Grade 1 to 4 learners.

Cotlands is a long-serving South African 'non-profit' agency that continues to meet the ever-changing needs of children impacted by HIV/AIDS in our country. Founded in 1936, Cotlands was originally created as a care centre for unwed mothers and their infants, and over the years has evolved into a shelter for abused, abandoned, HIV positive, orphaned and terminally ill children from birth to fourteen years of age.

With headquarters in Johannesburg, South Africa, our activities have reflected the changing needs of our society and we have increased both the quality and quantity of services we provide. 

Founded by Gail Johnson in April 1999 and named in honour of her 12 year old foster son and in memory of his biological mother who was unable to look after him, Nkosi's Haven was officially opened on 14th April 1999.

Establishing, maintaining and sustaining communal environments for PWAs;

Supporting beneficiary organisations such as the Nkosi's Havens;
Establishing educational and training trusts for PWAs; and

Almost all rural schools have one lack in common – educational resources. It is in this need that the Rally to Read provides.

For the past 11 years sponsors, organisers and participants of the Rally have visited the most remote and needy schools in rural areas to deliver books, teaching aids, science kits, sports equipment, educational toys and other material – all of which are taken for granted at urban schools. 

The Robin Good Initiative was formed to facilitate a flow of goods from the excess of those that have, to the needs of those that have not. 

Rather than initiated new feeding schemes, it channels goods through existing organisations concerned with the relief and uplifting of the poor on a daily basis, as a type of 'wholesaler', but without the selling or any form of charge. 

Currently Robin Good supplies ±40,000 meals per month, which can include clothing, toiletries, blankets, furniture, and toys.

"Thuthuka" is a Zulu verb, meaning "to develop", indicating the action-based perspective with which transformation is being driven.

Since its inception in 2002, Thuthuka has grown from one provincially-based project to over 20 projects (counting the DTS/Thuthuka Maths and Science Development Camps each as a separate project – 8 in total) throughout South Africa.  The number of potential candidates reached is significant, and the results of the programmes are providing indications of the impact to be made.  This has been achieved through Thuthuka's ability to identify the salient barriers and to devise and implement programmes that address these barriers effectively.  While growth in projects is imperative, increasing impact, achieving sustainable funding and nationwide expansion remain critical objectives of Thuthuka.
