Resilient Kids SA works with community based organisations, churches and individuals to empower and equip communities to take care of our vulnerable children.
​
We provide training and support which enables adults and youth in a community to work with children in a way that helps build the resilience of each child.
Our aim is to have, in each community, a team of safe, caring adults and youth who can provide on going support to the children of their community.
