We aim to find sponsors for the promotion (in the long run), in order to furnish the shelter (once new premises are found), turning the shelter into a home with a mother and father that can provide assistance to the street children as far as rehabilitation is concerned. We propose that we offer skills development (bead work, wire craft, doll making etc.) to the children as extra curricular activities to keep them off the streets. Africatravelmart.com is willing to sell the goods made by kids over the age of 16 (younger than 16 is considered child labour in RSA), generating income for the orphanage in order for it to reach a point where it can sustain itself. We propose that the goods made by children under the age of 16 be used to decorate the home. The idea is to give hope and create the opportunity for the kids to help themselves and once rehabilitated, create the opportunity for them to set up small, medium and micro enterprises (once they come of age) to make a productive contribution to South Africa's economy.
