As we take a moment to reflect on the last 6 months, we can’t be other than overwhelmed by the blessings and grace we are experiencing. No test or trail has been too great and no rainstorm or hill has been too much of a challenge. (You can all thank us later for the amazing weather!). But no challenge that we had to tackle during our adventures, will ever compare to the brokenness and pain that many children in South Africa is experiencing. Because of a world that rejects, destroys and reflects a false image of love, these children are left to suffer in poverty, with limited opportunities and often insufficient resources to facilitate growth and development. We want to see change. We want to build a new generation, with love and with the potential to continue to bring change. We want to see healing, growth and see people care about the next generation. We are practical people and want to create an awareness of the needs in the country that we love

“The Kula Foundation was founded in 2010 by 2 Occupational Therapists specializing in Early Childhood Intervention. KULA is an abbreviation for Kids U Love Achieve. Our occupation has lead us on a journey from rural South Africa to the bright city lights, from communities that depends on each other to urbanized life that depends on resources, from a people enriched by soil and livestock to a people enriched by consumerism. However, although our journey has established a sense of growth, one theme remained central: our children are suffering. As a result of our experience, and enforced by the increased number of children effected by poverty, abuse, neglect and most of all HIV/AIDS, we have come to realized that we have a social responsibility towards the children of our country.
Currently the Kula Foundation is working with children age 0-6 years in 3 different communities in and around Cape Town. We are collaborating with other NPO’s in order to start pre-natal and high risk baby clinics in both formal- and informal settlements. In addition we assess and provide occupational therapy to all those little ones struggling with normal development due to their parent’s addictions or actions.”
