Sponsor-A-Child

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

Our Impact

Our Mission

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.

Learner Testimonials

Greeting to my lovely sponsor…
I wrote this letter to inform you that I’ve received my uniform and thank you for giving me a wonderful gift in time of need. I appreciate you and thanks for giving me so much which I couldn’t afford and thank you for all these years that you have been sponsoring me.

I’d like to thank you all guys for the school uniform that you offer us as the children can’t buy the uniform for themself. And I also want to say to you… you don’t just help us you also help our parents. Thank you very very much this means everything to us. May you always keep on doing this.
