Collaborataion and Partnerships

Thusanani is in the process of developing new partnerships and finding other NPO's (Non Profit Organisations) to work alongside. We have always had a good and mutually rewarding relationship with the Big Shoes Foundation as well as with the various Children's Homes we work at and deliver services to.

Through the training we provide to care givers we have become an important resource to the Sunlight Safe House Project run by Childline Gauteng. With other NPO's getting to know us, like "The Lonely Road Foundation", we might find ourselves more and more expanding through the different partnerships.

Big news, hot off the manager's desk is the plan to develop a specific training program for persons wanting to become volunteers in a stimulation program at Childrens' Homes. We have identified that Volunteers doing regular volunteering has a need and desire to use play effectively and to make a positive impact on the development of the children they serve. It is forseen that this would be a two week full time training course with practical sessions to develop knowledge and skill. There would be a cost to the course to enable Thusanani to recover the cost of admin, basic charts, manuals and other running costs. Details still have to be finalized and Bridget, one of our senior Occupational Therapists, is working hard to get the documentation ready for presentation to the team.
