About Us
Who are we?
In the South African communities that we currently support, where up to 50% of the population are orphans, our aim is simple: Relieve suffering and restore hope and dignity to those affected by HIV/AIDS (and in particular, orphans and children); and empower South Africa’s poor and parentless children to break free from the cycle of poverty, and create a better future for them and their families.
Our vision is to make ourselves redundant over and over again: empowering sustainable communities in Africa.
How We Do It
We work closely with local people, well respected in their community, and listen to their needs, so we are able to directly support their efforts in the Hope Centre and Mdumbi Education Centre.
We are inspired and guided by the following aims:
1. To ensure that children in Africa are given their basic human rights.
2. To work in close partnership with NGOs on the ground and their communities to enable them to find solutions that address the issues caused by HIV/AIDS and extreme poverty.
3. To raise awareness of our cause, inside and outside the UK so that we can take sustainable projects to communities in Africa.
4. To build strong relationships with funders, supporters and relevant government bodies so that we create a global network of key influential organsations that supports our work and brings about lasting change
History
Love Is All We Need started life in 2006 when a small group of Londoners, passionate about helping South Africa’s poorest communities, began collecting old computers for the Mdumbi Education Centre. We now have a team of over 50 volunteers who give their time, expertise and passion to helping us improve the lives of the children and adults devastated by HIV/AIDS and poverty.
Because of people like you supporting our causes we can continue to make a difference to real lives:
