Sponsor-a-child

Seeing a child put on their new school uniform creates the biggest smiles at Imibala!

The Sponsor-a-Child uniform programme is one of the most meaningful ways to make a direct and lasting difference through The Imibala Trust. It is often the first point of support for children entering Imibala’s care and remains the programme that reaches the greatest number of children each year. Through careful annual verification, the Trust ensures that support reaches the children who need it most, while creating safe, welcoming spaces for new children to join the programme. With the support of loyal sponsors and donors, Imibala provides brand-new school uniforms to children from 21 schools in the Helderberg region, 11 schools in Graaff-Reinet, 3 schools in Hermanus, 3 schools in Moorreesburg, and 3 newly added schools in Hoedspruit. A school uniform does far more than simply clothe a child, it restores dignity, creates a sense of belonging, and most importantly, helps keep a child in school.
