Backpacks 4 SA Kids

We provide resources that contribute to the care, safety and wellbeing of children and young people during periods of displacement from home. In 2022 Backpacks 4 SA Kids provided 6488 emergency backpacks filled with essential items such as clothing, toiletries, underwear and some distraction items such as toys, colouring, reading book and cuddle toy to children who have been displaced from home. Our other programs include: Anchor Packs was launched during 2017 and provides support for youth homeless living rough or couch surfing within SA. The Anchor Packs includes basic items that support living on the street such as drink bottle, toiletries, towel, cap, sunscreen and bug repellent, sleeping bag and a metrocard (public transport system in SA) and an information pack that supplies info on where to receive assistance for food, shelter and ongoing help. Home Starter Pack that supports families who have left as a result of domestic violence. This pack provides the basics for families to start again in new accommodation i.e. sheets, towels, plates for the kids to eat off, the idea being if a parent feels supported they will stay in independent accommodation if they feel like they have failed they will return to violent backgrounds and place children in high stress and volatile situations. Christmas Program providing newborn to 18 year olds with Christmas presents when entering into emergency care. A simple Christmas present can bring so much joy and happiness, but also reduce stress and anxiety for those supporting our kids and families who are displaced at Christmas time. All of our programs have been incredibly successful and at the beginning of 2023, Backpacks 4 SA Kids have supported an incredible 81,793 kids since its inception in 2012
