CASE is an NPO working in Hanover Park and has implemented several projects dealing with breaking the cycle of violence and creating community development. We have been involved in a number of projects including counselling at schools, parent support groups, youth leadership and awareness programmes

 

 

As CASE is a new organization we are still battling with accessing funds even though the work is continuing through a stable base of volunteers. One of our projects is the CASE Kids Club where we have trained youth to be leaders and rolemodels, and who now run the CASE kids club. This is a weekly after-school programme for children (5-14yrs) which takes place at the Hanover Park Community Centre on a Wednesday afternoon. the programme is lots of fun for the children but the focus is on lifeskills. It is also aimed at getting children to see these trained youth as positive role models and mentors.

 

 

As part of the CASE Kids Club we would like to have an end of year Christmas party for the Children who have been attending this year. We have between 100-150 children and . would like to host a part for them on the 7th Dec. However, as we have no funding yet, we are desperately in need of donations of gifts for the children.  As I’m sure you know many children don’t just get to be children these days in these communities and we would like to continue to give them the space to play and have fun and celebrate with them.
