OUR PROJECTS

In June 2024, the D.R.O.P.S. team visited Msambweni, Kenya, offering medical care, hygiene education and teacher training. Highlights included check-ups for 180 children, health workshops, and a medical camp serving over 500 patients, profoundly impacting the community.

In partnership with a Belgian school, D.R.O.P.S. organized a vegetable garden project at Herbertsdale Primary in Mossel Bay. The initiative not only provided students with fresh produce, but taught lessons in collaboration and sustainability, and fostered cultural exchange.

In a 3 day mission to Tanzania in October 2022, the D.R.O.P.S. team visited over 800 underprivileged children in and around the city of Dar es Salaam. Our goal was to improve health literacy, raise environmental awareness, and provide essential medical care to those in need.

D.R.O.P.S., Project Somos and the Calgary Foundation came together to fund and set up the Virtual Tutoring Program. This program provided the much needed support for vital academic tutoring to help keep children in school after 2 years of public school closures due to COVID19.

During the difficult times of the economic crisis, D.R.O.P.S. provided financial support to assist Dimuthu Foundation in its work to empower underprivileged people, children without parents and disabled children. It is precisely these people who are affected by the impact of the economic crisis.

D.R.O.P.S. proudly supports “Kindergarten of Joy” by providing funds towards the immediate needs to ensure the school can remain open until the end of the school term to ensure the children can continue to learn and receive an additional two meals per day.

Through providing more nutritious meals, the project also aims to simultaneously reduce the schools spent on vegetables at the market, making the school more independent from rising food prices and use the savings to buy learning materials such as textbooks, and bookshelves, desks and tables for the classroom.

In Mafinga, Tanzania, we wanted to make a long-term impact on the community. The most sustainable solution was to provide a water source for the school. Therefore, a borehole water source and infrastructure was built to supply the toilets, kitchen and common areas.

In 2020 many refugees were located in camps as the Covid-19 pandemic gripped the country. Wingfield Refugee Camp housed over 800 people including approximately 60% children, lacking basic necessities. D.R.O.P.S. distributed basic need packages and shared tips on essential hygiene topics.
