After a visit to the Christine Revell Children’s Home, Katherine Brink felt a strong personal need to step in and get involved… this is how Little Brinks was started!
Johannesburg, South Africa (07 August 2015) — Katherine Brink, an awesome South African, started an NGO called “Little Brinks” in 2008 when she saw the need for someone to step in and try to improve the lives of children and families in disadvantaged communities within the Western Cape.
“Our vision is to ensure that each and every child and baby, has a place of safety, food and clothing. We have seen far too many cases of abuse – some of which will continue to live with us forever. That said, we are now absolutely dedicated to making a difference in the lives of these little people – helping those who cannot be heard or speak for themselves.”
After seeing the number of children who go to bed hungry because their parents are struggling financially and because of drug abuse-Katherine decided to do something about it.
After a visit to the Christine Revell Children’s Home, Katherine felt a strong personal need to get involved.
It all started after she adopted a child, and since then, she has dedicated her life to helping struggling parents with weekly food packages so they can feed their little ones.
“Each and every child deserves to have a meal and deserves to be loved.”
They rely heavily on donations of clothing, food, nappies, etc., as well as time, not just money.
Katherine helps orphanages, after-care facilities, individual families, and even some animal shelters every month, with most of the donations coming from family and friends and sometimes at her own expense.
Katherine was the Lead SA hero for June this year and our South Afri-CAN inspiration for today!
