Isle of Man Charities
BallaAfrica was registered as a Manx charity in June 2008 by Johan Loubser with the help of both staff and students from Ballakermeen High School, Douglas, Isle of Man.
Johan worked with malnourished children in the area of Bronkhorstspruit, near Pretoria, South Africa many years ago.The sad impressions of these children have been imprinted in his memory.When Johan arrived on the Isle of Man, he started the charity with the hope of making a difference in the lives of some of these children.
BallaAfrica's aim is to raise money on the Isle of Man to establish a community centre for providing food, medication, education and care to orphaned AIDS children and other poor people in the area of Pretoria West, South Africa.
THE WORK THE CHARITY DOES:
Community Centre
The primary project is raising the £100,000 needed to fund the building of the Community Centre on the outskirts of Bronkhorstspruit.
The Centre will house volunteers who will help teach, feed and medicate AIDS orphans and other needy people in neighbouring suburbs and squatter camps.
'Rubbish Dump' Project
This is a project where BallaAfrica have identified a number of families living and surviving off a rubbish dump. BallaAfrica based on the Isle of Man is a charity that aims to provide these people with a better life and provide their basic needs.
Please mention that you found BallaAfrica featured under Isle of Man Charites on The Best of The Isle of Man.
