It is a basic human right for all women as creations of God, to be protected, loved and sheltered. The United Nations estimates that 35 percent of women worldwide have experienced either physical and/or sexual violence in their lives and that victims have higher rates of depression, having an abortion and acquiring HIV.

We at the King David Foundation will work tirelessly to uplift the lives of as many abused, rejected women as we possibly can. We aim to offer trauma, rape, drug/alcohol addiction and HIV/AIDS testing and counselling. We will offer a life skills course that provides them with work experience and possible job placements.

The most innocent of all God’s creations is His children. The King David Foundation is dedicated to ensuring that many of these abandoned little ones are cared for, given food, warmth, love and an abundance of hugs!

The King David Foundation will actively address the upliftment of under-privileged communities to ensure that all the needs of individuals are addressed - mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. We will also focus on the community environments and work to purify the water sources, air and soil and promote recycling programs.

We promote homework and after care programs for children to encourage education. In doing this we will bridge the gap and offer much needed support to many children, the youth who often do their homework alone as parents are at work. These programs will facilitate higher success rates in schools and reinforce the importance of education.

Youth upliftment through sport it also a constructive way for children to spend their time. They are given the opportunity to learn valuable life skills through sport. Our foundation will, where possible, build soccer fields, basketball courts, cricket pitches and many other sporting facilities as are needed.

Access to water and sanitation is recognized by the United Nations as a human right, reflecting the fundamental nature of these basics in every person’s life. Lack of access to safe, sufficient and affordable water, sanitation and hygiene facilities has a devastating effect on the health, dignity and prosperity of billions of people; and has significant consequences for the realization of other human rights.

The King David Foundation understands that poverty and fundamental health issues will never be eradicated until communities have access to clean water and sufficient sanitation.

Renewable energy such as solar and wind power allow communities to use natural resources to produce green, clean energy on location. This bypasses the community’s need to tie into the main electric grid and gives them energy independence. In the event of a natural disaster or significant storm situation, they will have access to electricity sooner as they won’t need to wait for cabling and large-scale infrastructure repairs.

Traditional energy sources in rural and poverty-stricken communities include diesel-run generators and kerosene lamps. These sources generate high volumes of pollutants which create poor air quality in homes and communities, which can lead to respiratory ailments and early death. Renewable energy offers an eco-friendly alternative.

Our planet has an abundance of sunshine, wind power and other resources. It is time to focus on utilising our God given tools to provide warmth and light to our nation and resist all areas that focus on depleting the earth of her natural resources. Read more…

We at the King David Foundation believe that everyone should have a fighting chance in life, not just those with access to funding or medical aid. There are so many lives lost due to an inability to afford the treatment they so desperately deserve and the impact felt by the families and loved ones left behind carries trauma for years to come. Our aim is to assist with critical cases and offer that second chance. Read more…

A refugee, generally speaking, is a displaced person who has been forced to cross national boundaries and who cannot return home safely. These people are often, in their hour of need and great difficulty, net with insurmountable challenges with social and economic integration into their newly found communities and places of refuge. In South Africa alone, we have seen such suffering among refugees due to Xenophobia and other racial issues.

Africa is one continent, every being on this continent has the right to cross borders and move to places that will offer safety and security. The King David Foundation is dedicated to creating safe spaces and places for families and individuals who are fighting for their very existence.

We will tirelessly research and develop ways to assist these communities to live the lives they deserve to live.

We are looking for partners who can help us create / offer safe spaces for those in need.

Each year, bright, optimistic Africans leave home to earn an education or seek a better economic life abroad for themselves and their families. With fewer opportunities in their home country, many never return home. Those that stay are often left destitute and homeless due to the lack of interest in and support of diasporans who are desperately seeking work so that they can send money home to their families, who in many instances, have sacrificed everything to send them abroad.

These refugees arrive in Europe with the bare minimum and quickly realize that to make a life in Europe is very difficult. This puts great strain on the countries offering asylum to these people. The majority are left to live on the streets, depending on NGO’s or grants which means that many of these people never get the opportunity to go back home or even contact their loved ones abroad. Dependent and impoverished communities are created with serious social insecurities which leads to criminal or bad behavior with a strong sense of self entitlement. This causes friction with the local citizens and ongoing challenges for the local governments.

Families are separated and often completely cut-off due to the belief that they have been abandoned – on both sides, the family waiting at home and the ones dying on the streets in a foreign country.

No matter how they arrived in their adopted country, diasporans bring a distinct perspective to the discourse in Africa because they have experienced both worlds and can serve as a bridge in fostering greater understanding between the continent and their adopted country.

By leveraging the skills, ingenuity and resources that the African Diaspora possesses, diasporans are uniquely positioned to contribute to boosting economic growth and prosperity in Africa.

Many Africans in the diaspora want to eventually go back home after living abroad. However, one of their biggest challenges is finding suitable employment once they return.

The demand for talent is high in Africa, yet the wide skills gap is a sobering reality. A McKinsey Global Institute Report estimates that 122 million people will be added to Africa's labour force between 2010 and 2020, creating a burgeoning labour force of more than 500 million across the continent. Harnessing the talents and expertise of the African Diaspora can help to bolster Africa's workforce development.

Mobilizing the full participation of Africans in the diaspora is a win-win for Africa, and can foster stronger connections between continents to accelerate Africa's social and economic development.

All diasporans can serve as "brand ambassadors" to bring a new vision and inspiring ideas for Africa. African diasporans, especially young people, can become the face of a "new Africa", educated, optimistic, and actively working to transform and shape Africa's future.

The world is still recovering from the financial and food crises of 2008. A key response, especially in developing countries, was to scale up school feeding programs.

Feeding programs are a safety net for children, especially in poor and food insecure areas. Evidence shows that such programs have the ability to improve the health, nutrition and education of children, and offset lost income for struggling families. In many cases, they can also support local and national economies and food security.

Nowadays an estimated 368 million children – about one in five – receive at least one meal at school daily. However, too often, such programs are weakest in countries where there is the most need.

The King David Foundation realises how critical it is to ensure that our children are fed and nourished so that they can grow and be free of health issues such as malnutrition.

No single issue could be more critical to the health and well-being of a nation than the care and support of its older people. 

Preserving the dignity of our elderly is of paramount importance to the King David Foundation, the elderly are the gate keepers of our history and our culture and deserve respect and comfort in the winter of their lives.

The main causes of homelessness in South Africa alone, stem from a significant housing shortage and 29.1% unemployment. As of 2015 there are 200 000 homeless people living on the streets alone and massive inequality is rampant, with roughly 79% of the population under the poverty line.

We cannot have our children and loved ones living on the street! The King David Foundation is passionate about people and serving God. It is our mission to ensure that we provide shelters across Africa for those in need.

The human right to health means that everyone has the right to the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health. Health care should be provided as a public service for all, financed publicly and equitably but sadly this is not the case. The human right to health care means that hospitals, clinics, medicines, and doctor services must be accessible, available, acceptable, and of good quality for everyone, on an equitable basis where and when needed. This is what the King David Foundation plans to ensure will become a reality.
