Our Story

The Emilie Olifant Foundation’s main aim is to empower persons with disabilities through Group or Individual Coaching, Youth Empowerment, Employment Mediation and Disability Integration. Our focus since 2017 has been in the empowerment of youth with disabilities.

According to the National Disability Strategy, there’s a large proportion of disabled people amongst the very poor in South Africa, and we also have an increase of families at the poverty level as a result of disability. Poor people don’t have sufficient income to purchase goods. They also live in underdeveloped areas where there’s a lack of sanitation, water, electricity, health services, job opportunities and educational and recreational facilities.

In a country like South Africa where the unemployment rate is 27.7%, entrepreneurship could save the day. In particular, it could give disabled people greater independence and the ability to support themselves financially. They could set their own schedules and reduce transport problems if they were based at home. This could be one of the ways to make a great impact in eradicating poverty.

But clearly a lot still needs to be done to support vulnerable people, so that they too can contribute effectively towards the country’s economic pool. However, it all starts with charity. They say “charity begins at home”. Well, this is very much true.

When you support fund-raising events on a regular basis, not only do you respond to the socio-economic need that vulnerable groups in South Africa are faced with, but you also support a great and inspirational cause that will see to the eradication of poverty in South Africa. Well, we all know that when your basic needs are met, and you have a continuous support of organizations that raises funds for charity, not only will you reach your next level of self-empowerment, but you will also start to think positively about life and about the many possibilities you can explore. It is through humble initiatives such as these that slowly but surely, we can see the vulnerable come out of poverty and living a healthier more productive lives.

The Emilie Olifant Foundation needs your support to ensure that we carry on with our youth empowerment programmes, especially for the youth with disabilities. Let’s work together towards the empowerment of persons with disabilities.

I thank you!
