| The loveLife gogoGetter Programme
goGogetters are a part of a network of 500 grandmothers (goGogetters) across South Africa, who support orphaned and vulnerable teenagers and their younger siblings to develop a sense of purpose and belonging in life and stay HIV free. They aim to champion the cause of close to 10 000 young people, by trying to make them feel they belong, keep them at school, assist them to secure access to social security grants, prevent physical, sexual and emotional abuse, and keep them from going hungry. Many of these children come from families who are affected by Aids. loveLife teams assist goGogetters to establish links with schools, the Department of Social Development and other non-government organisations that can assist with the needs of orphans and vulnerable children. By working with communities in this way, goGogetters become advocates for children's issues and adult allies to the children and their families. |
