Fisantekraal Animal Welfare (FAW) is a community-based, non-profit organisation (NPO) working with the animals of Fisantekraal, Morning Star, and farms surrounding Durbanville.
Our mission is to sterilise and vaccinate the animals, treat them if they’re sick or injured, and rehome when necessary. We aim to educate and assist the people of the area, empowering them to look after their pets as well as they can.
Fisantekraal Animal Welfare was started in 2005 by Rosa Pheiffer who discovered that the animals of Fisantekraal were in desperate need of help. With the help of volunteers, the Animal Anti-Cruelty League (AACL), and local vets, hundreds of sterilisations were done.
Sadly, in those days, around 5000 animals had to be euthanased due to disease and neglect. However, because of the tireless efforts of FAW and friends, this sad statistic has really been turned around. We have grown vastly and have many dedicated volunteers.
We sterilised over 400 animals in 2012 alone!
FAW has vaccinated over 1500 animals against rabies, canine parvovirus, and distemper, and we’re seeing a steady improvement in the health of the animals we deal with. What’s more, over 200 sick and/or injured animals have been helped back to health – euthanasia is now only used when absolutely unavoidable in order to end real suffering. We’re able to treat animals suffering from mange, and dip to combat fleas and ticks.
A subsidised food programme allows the residents to purchase small amounts of dog or cat food at affordable prices, without having to travel into Durbanville (an impossibility for many of the residents) and pay high prices; Hungry dogs are regularly fed by FAW’s dedicated volunteers. Our kennel project, which involves donated kennels or those made by two enterprising young men from Fisantekraal out of old pallets, has seen many a dog stay warm and dry in winter.
Without the kind financial and other donations from the public, and the work of our volunteers, local vets, vet nurses, AACL, Uitsig Animal Rescue Centre, and many others, this wouldn’t be possible. We say THANK YOU to all our supporters, and give a resounding round of applause to Rosa Pheiffer for founding Fisantekraal Animal Welfare.
As insurmountable as any problem may seem, always remember the Dalai Lama’s wise words: “If you think you’re too small to make a difference, try going to bed with a mosquito.”

We are on a mission…
To help establish loving homes for orphaned, vulnerable and destitute children in South Africa by:
child–support networks in communities and linking them with foster families and children’s homes;
Promoting foster care to the general public and offering guidance to foster families;
Facilitating the renovation and maintenance of children’s homes; foster family accommodation and Early Childhood Development Centres with the help of corporate sponsors. We will endeavor to have these projects televised to help create awareness.
NEWKIDZ is an organization that was formed after a group of friends from Cape Town (in South Africa) saw a need at a Children’s Home for abandoned and orphaned children in one of the local communities called Mfuleni, just north of Cape Town. After volunteering their time on weekends over a period of 6 months they could not turn their backs and walk away from the obvious needs that these children had without getting radically involved.
Newkidz was born in 2007 when a dynamic home make-over was accomplished in just ONE weekend at the Masigcine Children’s Home. Check it out on the YouTube link on their website www.masigcine.org.za
Our aim is to become a national name in the field of improving the living conditions for vulnerable and needy children in South Africa.
Newkidz is a non profit organization (062-837-NPO) who’s major concern is that of the plight of orphans in South Africa.
Newkidz build sustainable child–support networks in communities and link them with foster families and children’s homes;
Newkidz promote foster care to the general public and offer guidance to foster families;
Newkidz facilitates the renovation and maintenance of children’s homes / foster family accommodation and places of safety with the help of corporate sponsors. We bring staff from various companies, along with their CSI budgets to complete a worthy task in their community.
Children are not able to care for themselves so if they have been orphaned, the responsibility falls on those in their community to be their parents by fostering or adopting them.
Children are a blessing from the Lord and we believe are very dear to Him. We see ourselves as Gate Keepers for them and have taken up the responsibility to care and fend for these children as if they were our own.
There are many people in society who want to do good and give back to the community in gratitude for all the blessings they have received but don’t know where to go or how to organize this. We at NEWKIDZ want to help!
So that is who we are – a group of friends who love God and children, especially orphans and have decided to make a difference in this world.
We are based in Cape Town, South Africa and our current projects are happening in suburbs in and around the Mother City. We will be expanding our services throughout South Africa in the future.

1. The work we do
The Animal Rescue Organisations main aim of work is centered on providing veterinary care for impoverished people’s animals. The hospital has a clinic daily situated at our headquarters in Ottery as well as 3 Mobile Clinics which travel into the poorest informal settlement and township environments daily providing essential veterinary services such as collection for sterilisation, dip, deworming, vaccinating and other veterinary treatment.
In August 2012 the ARO launched MASU (Mobile Animal Sterilisation Unit) It is the first of its’ kind in the Western Cape, and enables ARO to travel to far-reaching indigent communities (within 300km radius to Cape Town) where no veterinary services are available. This unit differs from existing mobile clinics in that it enables ARO veterinary staff to carry out sterilisations as well as primary health care services. The unit has all the necessary veterinary facilities for sterilisation, including an operating table, hot water geyser, a refrigerator and medicine storage facilities.

OUR MISSION
To develop media that is relevant, accurate and that makes a difference To empower citizens who are unable to access mainstream media To assist and support marginalised communities to exercise their health rights
We work in partnership with a wide range of stakeholders so that marginalised groups are able to exercise their rights and in this way access opportunities that improve the quality of their lives. Critical to this methodology, is the understanding that various sectors need to forge strong partnerships that will stimulate the process of community involvement, a prerequisite for effecting behavioural change.
MTC tries to make a difference in the health sector by taking into account the big picture, by asking the difficult questions such as what are the determining factors that impact on health? How do we address the health of vulnerable women and children taking into account the conditions under which they live? How do we bring together all the partners that influence health conditions?
We work in partnership with government departments, academic institutions, corporate organisations and other NGOs to develop media material that effects meaningful behaviour change.
TRAINING AND SUPPORT
MTC is funded by the Media Development Diversity Agency (MDDA) to train and support community radio stations to produce quality programmes that reflect the needs of their listeners and to facilitate partnerships with local stakeholders in order to effect behavioural impact.
OUR SERVICE
MTC provides a health – promotion service to any client requiring media material. We specialise in the development of print and radio material that is participatory, interactive and impacts positively on health behaviour.
How do we achieve this?
MTC works with the target group to determine the most appropriate media for their needs.
Using focus group discussions, a conceptual draft of the communication material is tested with sample groups to ensure that the target group clearly understands the key messages in whatever language is best understood. This methodology applies to both print and radio material. The data is analysed, and the draft material is then adapted in line with the recommendations of the focus groups. Only once this process has been completed does the production phase begin.
