Our Programs

We focus on three key areas to create lasting change in communities.

Nutritional Support

Nutritional Support

We provide nutritious food parcels on a monthly basis to the households where these children live. We also help to start and run nutritional gardens for families to produce the food they need, themselves.

Education and Youth Support

Education and Youth Support

The education programme ensures that all children enrolled with Ikageng are placed in institutions of learning and development from ECD to tertiary. Ikageng has 591 children who are enrolled at different schools this year. We provide for the children’s uniforms and other learning needs and provide a link between the schools and families.

Traditional Leaders Support

Traditional Leaders Support

The programme seeks to improve access to health and social services among key and vulnerable populations through active collaboration with Traditional Leaders in Gauteng. By leveraging traditional authority structures, the project aims to expand community engagement,mobilize demand for services, and strengthen health literacy across rural and peri-urban areas.

Health Support

Health Support

This programme gives care and support to children and adults who have chronic conditions. We facilitate proper diagnosis by ensuring supervised clinic referrals and patients on ART are transported to appropriate clinics and hospitals on a monthly basis.

Psychosocial Support

Psychosocial Support

To ensure quality education, children are taken for quarterly workshops to harness their skills and their attitude towards life (life skills programs). All our beneficiaries receive psychosocial support from the organisation.
