More about i4118 Foundation NPC
i4118 Foundation is a Christian faith based non-profit, non-government organization that strives to help children and teens over come the harm caused to them by adults, helping them become Champions and Leaders of the future. We are a registered Non-Profit Company (NPC) and Public Benefit Organisation (PBO), that is volunteer driven and totally reliant on the generosity of individuals and companies, for financial support. Where does i4118 come from? It Comes from Isaiah 41 vs 18 that says; I will make rivers flow on dry hills. I will make springs of water flow through the valleys. I will change the desert into a lake filled with water. There will be springs of water in that dry land. (Easy Read Version). We believe that this verse reflects the transformation of the lives, of the children and teens, from broken and hopeless to ones filled with hope and life. Camps help children gain confidence and self-worth, enabling them to laugh, sing, and have fun. For many youngsters who are neglected or come from troubled homes, camp offers them a place of gentleness and peace – where camp mentors care enough to listen to their problems and help them. Camps are also the starting point where they are shown that not all adults are the same and that some can be trusted. It is where trust is built and opens the door for them to be taken into one of the mentorship programs. Camps also show the children that where they find themselves in life is not the norm but there are other ways of living and interacting with people. All our camping programmes can only be run through the generosity of people, volunteering their time to staff on camp as well as pledging to financially support them through financial and item donations. Royal Family KIDs Camp is a specialized camping programme, and different from other camps, where One adult (camp mentor) looks after, cares for, loves and spends time (24 hours a day) with two children for the week of camp. Giving them the individualised attention they need. This allows the self-worth of the children to be enriched and their resilience built up. During the camp each child is treated like royalty. Along with this we expose the children to various activities (e.g. Bicycle riding, Swimming, Archery, Wall Climbing, Craft’s etc.). Each Child’s birthday is also celebrated (with Cake and gifts) and they are taken to a Gala Dinner. The time spent on camp helps the children realize that there are adults out there that they can trust while helping them to build happy memories. An ex-camper said the following – “Activities and crafts were well suited for prolonged memories; some of the crafts we did, I have kept them until today, mainly because of the memories associated with them.” TFM.
