In some townships in South Africa  Dreamcatcher Kamamma’s take care of some 100 most vulnerable in their society: young children. For a group of 60 kids there is now an urgent need for the bare essentials, such as a jacket, shoes or a hat, but also their own blanket for a safe and warm feeling. Wewould  like to help the Kamamma's financially.
For € 20 per child we can provide them with these bare essentials.

Dreamcatcher
The message and passion of the Dreamcatcher Foundation is to support and train women and their families to help themselves to climb out of poverty and help them to regain their independance , their dignity and pride through training and education for instance by running their own small business. Dreamcatcher Foundation (started in 1986) works through social tourism (community-based tourism)teaching the colored South Africans to help overcome poverty and to build a dignified existence. In addition Dreamcatcher focuses on women in the townships, called Kamamma programs, and helps them to become self-employed in tourism

A compulsory part of the course is that the Kamamma themselves also adopt a project ("charity"). This can be help to elderly, cooking for people from the community, children who can not afford to go to school, a day program for  people with AIDS or HIV etc. etc. Most Kamamma's join existing initiatives, especially the Dreamcatcher Kids program. And for this program the jackets, blankets and shoes and hats are needed.

Kamamma is the Xhosa word for the woman who carries a child on the back, but also deals with all tasks in the house and with the education of all children. The "Dreamcatcher-Kamamma" bears family and community for a better living standard.
