Hello Limpopo! Top 12 grade 12 learners get a taste of telecommunication
In an era when there are countless career paths for learners to pursue after finishing school, many students don’t know what they’d like to study. This is why Save the Children SA partner, Global Communications (GC) hosted a career day for 12 of the top performing Grade 12 pupils from Limpopo.
Literacy is a golden gateway to education at school and beyond
It’s concerning and tragic that just over three million South Africans remain illiterate, according to Statistics South Africa. As Walt Disney once very wisely said: ‘There is more treasure in books than in all the pirate’s loot on Treasure Island.’
‘Children first’ – in policy and practice
It’s amazing how, when your children are no longer in school or at university, you realise just how much our lives revolved around terms and holidays. It’s just one simple example of how our children form the basis of our decisions; and of course, that’s how it should be.
100 Years of change for children
Thanks to supporters like you, we’ve been doing whatever it takes for children in need for 100 years, reaching over one billion children! It all began in 1919, when our founder, Eglantyne Jebb, launched a pioneering campaign to save suffering children across war- torn Europe.
From the little (and big) people at the Sizo Centre – thank you!
If you’re one of the amazing people who responded generously to our recent appeal for support for the Sizolopakathi Early Childhood Centre, thank you so much!
Thank you for helping us to take action for children – all year round!

#ChildProtectionWeek: The impact of violence on children
My name is Ndingedwa and I am in prison serving a 19 year sentence for stock theft, housebreaking, assault and murder. How exactly I became violent, I am not sure. One thing I do remember is that my father used to be very violent towards my mother. My father drank so much and he was argumentative and aggressive when he was drunk. He fought with my mother and with other people. If other people wanted to stop him fighting with my mother, then he would fight with them too.
