To engage young people involved in childcare in our work in South Africa, providing opportunities to be directly involved in our projects there, to learn from them and to teach in them, and in doing so, create fantastic opportunities for personal development and ‘life changing’ experiences.

Auntie is a ‘non profit’ organisation, set up on behalf of the Childcare Sector in the UK and Ireland, that promotes human and social development - investing in projects in Africa to improve the lives of the most vulnerable children living in extreme poverty - through self sufficiency (and not dependency!). Auntie supports the training and development of childcare practitioners in Africa, runs and supports crèches in the poorest South African township communities, supports afterschool and mentoring programmes for children aged 7 – 18, will sponsor primary education for those who cannot afford it, and provides vocational training to help young people into meaningful jobs.
