Takalani children's home was established in May 1988 by Rev P. L. Van Langeveld together with the Reformed Church Synod Soutpansberg. The home started with only 11 children in total. Rev Van Langeveld was serving as a spiritual Pastor at Siloam Hospital (His service was to give pastoral care to the patients at Siloam Hospital). He came up with a vision of establishing a home for the abandoned, abused and orphaned children. He then approached the local Reformed churches under Synod Soutpansberg. The Synod welcomed the idea to establish a home for those children and appointed the board of directors to manage the home. The home was built near Siloam Hospital since most children were found wandering there, though children from different areas are also considered due to the need. The hospital social worker, the late Mr. Landela played a very crucial role in ensuring proper legal processes were adhered to. TCH accommodates a maximum of 80 children and currently, the home has 40 girls and 30 boys. Takalani children's home objectives: -To provide appropriate accommodation for the children who are in need of care under the age of 18 years. -To provide a healthy diet and appropriate clothing for the children in the care of TCH. -To promote healthy development by meeting medical needs and educational needs of the children in the care of TCH. - To create awareness of the needs and rights to all children in the care of TCH and to everyone associated with TCH. -To advocate, promote and support legislative and other measures designed to meet the needs and the rights of children. -To create opportunities for the children to explore their full creative and physical potential, as well as discover their talents and possible career path. -To take steps to remove conditions detrimental to the emotional and physical well-being of the children in the care of TCH.

The organisation reflects its members' shared concern for the future of humanity and the planet. The association sees its task as acting as an independent, global catalyst for change. The objectives of the Association are therefore: to identify the key issues that are critical to the future of humanity; to evaluate alternative scenarios for the future and assess risks, choices and opportunities through integrated and forward-looking analyses; to develop and propose practical solutions to the identified challenges; to communicate new insights and knowledge from these analyses to decision-makers in the public and private sectors, as well as to the wider public; to stimulate public debate and effective action to improve the prospects for the future of humanity and the planet. The Association's activities are guided by the following three complementary principles: 1. the need to adopt a global, systems-oriented perspective in analysing the problems facing the modern world, recognising that the increasing interdependence of nations and the globalisation of previously local problems create challenges that are beyond the capacity of individual countries. 2. the need for a comprehensive, holistic approach in order to gain a deeper understanding of the complexity and interconnectedness of both current problems and practical solutions, in political, social, economic, technological, environmental, psychological and cultural terms, which the association refers to as the 'world problematique'. 3. the need to emphasise transdisciplinary and long-term perspectives, which are all too often neglected by governments and other decision-makers, and to focus on those decisions, strategies and measures that will determine the fate of present and future generations. The aim is to arouse public interest and provide responsible decision-makers with a solid basis for formulating and implementing future-oriented measures. The association does not pursue any commercial purposes and does not seek to make a profit.

Every day, lives are changed by a single, selfless act - the gift of organ donation. Among those waiting for transplants are 2 groups of people: those who die waiting and those who receive the gift of life. Our work raises awareness of the urgent need for organ and tissue donors while helping recipients who have overcome the impossible to live life to the fullest. These individuals have faced life's greatest challenges; they are advocates for the cause but need resources, education and community. Transplant recipients have a unique opportunity to advocate for organ donation and raise awareness. Physical activity plays a crucial role in the recovery and long-term health of recipients. When recipients compete in world events, they demonstrate to the world what can be achieved through the gift of organ donation. Additionally, our programs provide recipients with community, tools, and resources to address the many challenges they face, leading to an increased quality of life. The WTGF promotes amateur sport amongst recipients, living donors and donor families; promoting the study of transplantation; educating the public and raising awareness of the world shortage of donor organs; sharing new knowledge from biological/clinical studies; promotion of mental and moral improvement for recipients, living donors and donor families; fostering international friendship and relations.

Our mission at Light of Nation Youth Projects (LNYP) is to create a thriving, inclusive, and empowered youth community by providing access to skills development, economic opportunities, health education, and social support. We are deeply committed to ensuring that young people, especially those from marginalized and disadvantaged backgrounds, have the resources and opportunities to break the cycle of poverty and achieve economic independence. Empowering Youth Through Skills Development We recognize that one of the biggest barriers young people face is the lack of marketable skills that enable them to secure employment or start their own businesses. Through our various training programs, we equip youth with practical, income-generating skills that prepare them for sustainable careers. Whether through vocational training, digital literacy, or entrepreneurship development, we ensure that each young person who engages with our programs leaves with valuable skills that can be applied in real-world scenarios. Our commitment extends to young people with disabilities, who often face additional barriers in accessing education and employment. Through initiatives like the Creativity Beyond Disability Project, we provide tailored skills training, mentorship, and business support, ensuring that no one is left behind. Driving Economic Growth Through Job Creation and Entrepreneurship We believe that empowering young people goes beyond training-it involves creating real opportunities for economic participation. Many of our programs focus on helping youth transition from skills acquisition to practical application, whether through job placements, business incubation, or market access support. We offer mentorship and guidance to young entrepreneurs, helping them develop sustainable business models, access funding opportunities, and navigate the challenges of running their own enterprises. By fostering a culture of entrepreneurship, we enable youth to create their own paths to financial independence rather than waiting for job opportunities that may never come. Additionally, our income-generating initiatives, such as merchandising and arts and crafts production, provide participants with hands-on experience in business operations. We aim to support young entrepreneurs in establishing their brands, connecting with customers, and scaling their businesses to generate sustainable income. Promoting Health Awareness and Gender Equality At LNYP, we understand that economic empowerment is closely linked to overall well-being. This is why we integrate health promotion and gender equality advocacy into our programs. Through our HIV/AIDS prevention initiatives, we educate youth on safe practices, access to healthcare services, and the importance of regular testing and treatment adherence. We also recognize the intersection between economic vulnerability and gender-based violence (GBV). Women and girls, especially those with disabilities, are often at higher risk of exploitation and abuse due to their financial dependence on caregivers or partners. Our programs aim to reduce these risks by empowering young women with economic independence, allowing them to make informed choices about their futures and reduce their vulnerability to abuse. By addressing these critical social issues, we are not only equipping youth with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed but also fostering a safer and more supportive environment in which they can thrive. Building a Stronger, More Inclusive Community We believe that sustainable change comes from within the community. This is why our programs are designed to be community-driven, with active participation from local leaders, businesses, and stakeholders. We work closely with community-based organizations, government agencies, and private sector partners to ensure that our initiatives are aligned with broader development goals and have a lasting impact. Our commitment to inclusion means that we actively create spaces where all young people, regardless of their backgrounds or abilities, feel valued and supported. We advocate for accessibility, equal opportunities, and policies that promote social and economic inclusion for all. Our Long-Term Vision Our goal is to create a future where every young person has the skills, confidence, and support to succeed. Over the next five years, we aim to: -Train over 2,500 youth in practical, income-generating skills. -Increase employment rates among youth with disabilities by 40%. -Support the sale of 1,500+ handmade products annually to help young entrepreneurs generate income. -Reduce gender-based violence vulnerability by empowering young women with financial independence. -Establish sustainable community hubs where youth can access continuous training, mentorship, and business support. Through these efforts, we are not just providing temporary solutions-we are laying the foundation for a future where young people are the driving force behind their own success and the development of their communities. At Light of Nation Youth Projects, we believe that empowering youth is the key to transforming communities. Together, we can build a future where every young person has the opportunity to reach their full potential and contribute meaningfully to society.
