“Cooking in a StreetSmart Restaurant gives me a feeling that we are not only feeding and delighting the well-heeled, but directly assisting those who have fallen through the cracks of society. We are helping them to lead a better life and become the future of this country.” – Chef Peter Pankhurst, Savoy Cabbage Restaurant,

Chairman’s Message

“We thank all of you for your commitment to our cause.” Melanie Burke

PURPOSE - PASSION - PARTNERSHIP

As I come to the end of my first term, I reflect on the incredible privilege it is to serve the StreetSmart SA community. I am keenly aware that purpose underpinned by passion and connected through partnership makes it possible for us to make a difference, together!

Our restaurant partners, many who have been with us from the start, give us our strength and enable us to make impactful contributions to those who work towards the normalisation of the lives of vulnerable and street children.

Untitled-1.indd 4 5/23/18 3:31 PM 3

Our operational sponsors who continue to support us in-kind, through services and monetary contributions, make it possible for us to ensure that 100% of the money raised in restaurants, actually reaches the intended beneficiary organisations.

Our beneficiary organisations provide us with the platform to support impactful interventions. Through funding educational, skills development and family reunification programmes, street children and children at risk, are given opportunities to grow and thrive.

Our diners, who make a difference simply by where they choose to dine and donate, have helped raise R1.12 million rand in 2017! These donations enabled us to fund 31 programmes in 11 towns and cities. We have also laid the foundations now to expand our footprint and to make it possible for more children to live viable lives.

In these endeavours I am supported by fellow board members Nils Heckscher (vice- chairman), Margi Biggs (founder), Caroline Bagley, Su Birch, Bradley Bordiss, Annette Cockburn, Leonard Hersch, Sabelo Mzanywa, Janet Pillai, Marion Thomas and Rashied Toefy.

Many drops make a river and through your collective support we are making a tangible and lasting difference in the lives of young people.

“It gives me great pleasure to support StreetSmart South Africa. Children living on the streets are amongst the most marginalized of all South Africa’s children. So when you are enjoying an evening out with good food, good wine and good company, reflect on how your life is enriched. Then do a kind thing. Give to StreetSmart. God bless you”

We Deliver_Our Impact

I. Reporting on R 1,060,000 Disbursed to Selected Beneficiaries for 2017 Whilst the stories contained in this report are true, the names have been changed in order to protect the children.

CAPE TOWN MULTI SERVICE CENTRE (CTMSC) CTMSC is a registered Child and Youth Care Centre, also running three community contact offices in Clarke Estate, Netreg and Kalksteenfontein and two ECD facilities in Clarke Estate and Netreg.

Cape Town Multi Service Centre received R100,000 from StreetSmart Cape Town towards two aftercare teachers’ salaries, family reconstruction worker salary and transport costs towards family reconstruction activities. Bongi’s story: Bongi began attending school for the first time in his life at the age of nine. When placed in foster care with a family in Netreg, he was enrolled at the local Primary School. Due to Bongi’s age, he was placed in the grade 2 class, which was age-appropriate, but obviously not academically appropriate. To ensure that he got the support he needed, he was selected to attend the StreetSmart Aftercare Programme, to develop his reading and writing skills. Seven months later, Bongi is able to write and is excelling in Mathematics! We are confident that with the extra support, Bongi can catch up to the appropriate academic level and make great progress in school, resulting in good opportunities in his future.

HOME FROM HOME Home from Home provides supported and supervised foster care for orphaned, abandoned and vulnerable children in small family homes of no more than six children, in their own communities.

Home from Home: Masiphumulele, Ocean View and Westlake received R100,000 from StreetSmart Cape Town, towards a social worker salary and foster mother training.

Home from Home: Kayamandi and Cloetesville received R80,000 from StreetSmart Stellenbosch, towards a social worker salary, foster mother training and support, and therapeutic intervention for the children.

Ryan’s story: Ryan is the eldest boy in foster mother, Rosie’s house. When he turned eighteen, his foster care grant was stopped. He, however, continued living in the foster home because his younger brother also lives there. Sadly no other biological family were interested in caring for Ryan. The younger sibling was very stressed because of the pressure for Ryan to find alternative accommodation. Later in the year, Ryan was successfully placed at a youth care centre in Philippi, which caters to young adults transitioning out of care. Ryan successfully undertook a two-week carpentry course recently, attended all lessons and received a certificate.

Reports from the centre have been overwhelmingly positive. They were very impressed at what a well- mannered young man he is, and commended his foster mother for the manner in which she raised him. In another exciting development, there are plans for Ryan to study IT at College, and he will continue to be supported until such time that he is self-sufficient. The foster family has visited Ryan at the centre, and committed to visiting him there once a month.

LEARN TO LIVE SCHOOL OF SKILLS AT SALESIAN INSTITUTE

At Learn to Live, technical skills are taught to youth from the various shelters in and around Cape Town or directly off the street. Due to their accreditation with the Department of Education, all youth who complete their courses receive a recognised certificate from the Education Department.

Learn to Live received R100,000 from StreetSmart Cape Town to use towards panel beating workshop skills training: a panel beating instructor salary, materials and tools for the workshop and fares for the youth to attend.

Melvin’s story: Melvin spent three and half years at Learn to Live, with the initial years being rather difficult and rocky ones for the school – learner relationship, resulting in the school evoking his membership in the programme. However, on his initiative and sincere motivation, he was re-accepted. As a learner who has traversed a number of institutions, he finally settled down at Learn to Live, becoming a leader as his workshop instructor testified. Melvin was very diligent and eager to learn new things to the extent that he escalated his requirements to the Principal when the lessons were not sufficiently challenging for him. At the end of the 2nd Term in 2017 he landed himself a job and is now gainfully employed at a panel beating business.

ONS PLEK PROJECTS

Ons Plek is the only NPO in the Western Cape focusing exclusively on young girls and successfully re-unites female street children with their families and, failing that, they are sufficiently empowered at Ons Plek Projects to grow into healthy, independent, functioning members of society. Further preventative programmes are run in the Philippi community.

Last year we reported on the three siblings (now 14, almost 18 and 10 years old) who had been placed in foster care after they were removed from the care of their mother due to her severe alcoholism. The foster care placement broke down, due to the two older sisters’ absconding behaviour and substance abuse. They were placed at Ons Plek and later the youngest sibling as well.

It came to light that the girls cannot have their birth certificates because their mother never had one. In 1988 their mother had left her family in the Northern Cape, close to the Namibian border, and has never been in contact with them since. After much investigation, the social worker at Ons Plek tracked down the maternal grandmother on a remote farm. She was invited to come to Cape Town in order to testify to the mothers’ identity and apply for the birth certificate for the mother.

Eventually the grandmother saw her grandchildren for the very first time and after almost thirty years the family celebrated re-unification! Everybody was very excited and emotional. Whata moment when they met one another, looking at each other quietly for the first few minutes before hugging each other with joy! The girls excitedly shouted out, “We have family!” The family went to home affairs together, the grandmother testified and the girls’ mother started the process for her own birth certificate.

TLC OUTREACH PROJECTS

TLC Outreach Projects is situated in the Area. Its purpose is to care for destitute youth at risk in the informal settlements and those roaming the streets, through outreach events, comprehensive and preventative youth programmes and home visits. StreetSmart Cape Town, provided TLC with a R100,000 disbursement towards family reconstruction worker and field worker salaries.

Luzuko’s story: ”I thought that I will be living on the street forever. My mother left me with my older brother, and our father did not look after us. It was very hard to survive. I went out daily to look for food and collect money at robots. I used the money for food and weed and to play games. When I was supposed to be enrolled in high school, my father was reluctant to take me and that’s when I lost hope. But one of my friends invited me to church and I started to believe in God and prayed everyday asking God to help me.

God answered my prayers, when I heard about TLC and Aunt Colleen who helps street children - she helped me to enrol at the local high school. I also could stay at the independent house, but when it closed, I went back to my family and my friends went back to the streets. I imagine if I was still living in Dunoon or the streets, I would have been a thief or even a murderer. TLC again helped me to stay with foster parents, and I now have sisters who encourage me to learn. My new family reminds me to work hard so that I can have a better future. I am a youth leader at my church and received awards at school for the most improved sportsman in hockey. I am in grade 10, and although I find it difficult at school, I want to complete my matric.”

SCHOOL OF HOPE

School of Hope is a registered special-needs secondary school that provides a second chance at education for at-risk, vulnerable children and youth. There is no requirement of an entrance exam, only the prerequisite that students demonstrate a willingness to learn. The student population includes former street children, rehabilitated drug addicts, and children from abusive, neglectful homes. Recognizing the diversity of learning levels, School of Hope provides individualized support to help each student graduate from grade 12, and achieved a 100% matric pass rate at the end of 2017. They offer computer application technology (CAT) as a compulsory subject to ensure that every learner leaves the school in possession of knowledge that they can use in the current information age and in their future career, where the use of technology in the job market is growing exponentially.

School of Hope has received the sum of R100,000 from StreetSmart Cape Town towards the school curriculum subject: computer application technology (CAT).

Dillon’s story: Dillon, like the majority of the learners at School of Hope, is not exposed to sophisticated technology as broadly as their privileged peers. His limited experience on a keyboard and computer showed in his lack of confidence and fear of technology, apart from his first-generation smartphone.

Dillon then joined the Computer Geek Club that was started to get many of the learners interested and confident around computers.

He quickly gained confidence and excelled rapidly, to the extent that he became the top CAT learner. Dillon is currently achieving 75% and is one of the learners that formed part of the 88% pass rate for CAT!

THE KUSASA PROJECT

The Kusasa Project offers educational opportunities to disadvantaged children from an informal settlement near Franschhoek. By offering education, life skills and sporting activities, the Kusasa Project staff endeavours to teach the children that there are opportunities in life and that there can be a brighter future.

The Kusasa Project received R100,000 from StreetSmart Franschhoek towards social and community work manager and auxiliary social worker salaries.

A social worker is available to deal with all social issues affecting the well-being and academic performance of the child concerned. Referrals are made when necessary. In the Early Learning Centre (ELC), again the children are from the disadvantaged community. Many come originally from the Eastern Cape and often have illiterate parents. There is also a high incidence of unemployment or single parent families. Currently there are 120 children in the Early Learning Centre.

Kaylee’s story: Kaylee is a Grade 3 learner at The Kusasa Project Early Learning Centre. She struggled academically and emotionally during the first part of the year. It was established that her parents’ current divorce is having a very negative impact on Kaylee and to complicate matters: her biological father is not part of her life.

The social work team and principal reviewed Kaylee’s situation and added remedial therapy to her schedule, with her parents attending monthly guidance meetings. Her stepfather agreed to continue to play an active role in her life because he is the only father figure she knows and respects. Her mother undertook to maintain a routine in their home to help and support Kaylee academically, emotionally and socially. We are very pleased to report that the parents have taken our advice to heart and are applying the skills and routines at home. Even though the family is going through a very difficult time, they are working together to focus on the emotional stability of Kaylee.

KIDS HAVEN

Since 1992 Kids Haven is focused on protecting homeless children and children in crisis and giving them a future. Kids Haven uses the PACE home-schooling system in the Bridging School Classes for general remediation of the children. The PACE system provides each child with their own workbook plus there are assessments that are taken and marks recorded. It offers very basic Literacy and Numeracy skills – up to a Grade 3 level.

StreetSmart Johannesburg has contributed R100,000 to Kids Haven, towards the salary of the Bridging School programme facilitator and learning resources.

Lebo’s story: Lebo, aged sixteen, was placed at Kids Haven in November 2016 after having displayed uncontrollable behaviour while living with her aunt. Her parents are both deceased. From 2015, Lebo was becoming increasingly difficult to manage. She was spending most of her time with friends, not sleeping at home, sniffing glue and drinking. She was believed to be involved in Satanism and prostitution and failed Grade 9 in 2015.

Since admission in Nov 2016, Lebo has responded well to the structure of Kids Haven and has been included in counselling and group and individual therapy.

Her aunt, who’s also her primary caregiver, visited in March 2017 where she commented on the change in Lebo’s behaviour. Lebo has also been a part of The President’s Awards programme and has volunteered and participated in several leadership activities. In April 2017, she was placed into formal school again and to date has maintained her attendance at school. Kids Haven fully expects that Lebo will continue to make good progress and remain in school.

SINETHEMBA YOUTH DEVELOPMENT CENTRE Sinethemba has established itself into a fully equipped Youth Centre in Knysna, providing a basic education and day time shelter, but also basic skills acquisition for the youth to become self-sufficient in the long term and ultimately employable. Sinethemba has received R50,000 from StreetSmart Knysna towards an auxiliary social worker salary.

Bobby’s story: Bobby, aged twelve, lives with his disabled mother in a relative’s backyard. He has no relationship at all with his father. He was a grade 4 learner at Fraaisig Primary School in Hornlee Knysna, but dropped out of school at the end of September 2016. His reason for dropping out of school was that the other children bullied and made fun of him when he stuttered.

In June this year Sinethemba was contacted by a business owner in town about a young boy roaming around unsupervised on the street near his shop. This report was followed up by reports from the Community Police Forum requesting Sinethemba to intervene. Bobby was introduced to the Sinethemba Drop-in program and since June did not go back to the streets to beg for food. He has been registered by the Department of Education for Special needs support at a school in George next year.

MASIZAME PROJECTS Masizame Projects in Plettenberg Bay runs a Drop-In Centre and provides programmes that empower vulnerable children and their families by providing quality intervention services with a strong focus on family preservation services. Masizame Projects received R50,000 from StreetSmart Plettenburg Bay towards a reconstruction social auxiliary worker salary.

Cheslyn’s story: Cheslyn was raised by his mother, who, as most single parents, struggled to balance working to earn money and taking good care of her children.

When his mother unexpectedly passed away when he was five, Cheslyn was separated from his siblings and went to live with his maternal grandmother.

His basic needs of food and shelter were being catered for, but his grandmother is semi-literate and could not meet Cheslyn’s developmental needs. School work assistance and emotional support were non-existent. His grandmother added to the trauma, by not allowing his mother’s name to be spoken in the house.

Some 6 years later, at age eleven in Grade 4, Cheslyn had transformed into a defiant and angry boy. Teachers laid repeated complaints of his challenging behaviour, as he fought with all his peers and teachers.

He dropped out of school early in 2017. As a recent drop-out, Cheslyn was referred by the school to Masizame. He is a regular at the Drop-In Centre and attended life-skills programs. Counseling sessions were held with both the child and the extended family, and grief counselling assisted both Cheslyn and his grandmother to have closure over the death of his mother.

Once the teachers understood the history of the child, they have agreed to Cheslyn re-enrolling for school in 2018, and Masizame will continue individual check-in sessions on a bi-weekly basis. This initiative was made possible with the funding grant from StreetSmart South Africa.

PEN – STREETWISE PROJECTS

PEN-Streetwise Projects is a project of PEN that reaches out to orphaned and vulnerable street children, reconciling them where possible with their families. Alternatively, children who do not have access to family, parents or caring adults, are offered care and support at the Leratong Child- and Youth Care Center.

StreetSmart Pretoria, provided PEN-Streetwise with a R50,000 disbursement towards a social worker salary.

An update on Katlego’s story: You will remember from last year’s report that Katlego’s mother moved to Pretoria after running away from a family feud in the Eastern Cape. She found refuge in a home that provided sleeping facilities for destitute mothers in the inner city.

This arrangement worked well for Katlego, his two siblings and his mother until Katlego turned seventeen. He was then forced to move out of the shelter as it only catered for mothers and children under the age of seventeen. This left Katlego homeless and he started sleeping in the park across the road from the house.

His class teacher noticed that things didn’t seem well with him and contacted PEN to see if we could assist. PEN’s house parents and social worker worked with the Department of Social Development to get Katlego formally placed in PEN’s care. For a child who has experienced so much trauma and whose schooling has been so disrupted, Katlego’s academic performance has really surprised everyone. This year, Katlego received an award for Top Achiever in Mathematics, Physical Science and Geography.

He also represented his school at a regional quiz competition where he received another award. He remains determined to study medicine and has already applied to the University of Pretoria for 2019. Our social worker introduced him to a local Doctor who is providing him with job shadowing opportunities. He cannot wait to be at the university in 2019 and is looking forward to finishing his studies so he can improve the circumstances of the rest of his family.

THE SWELLENDAM BURSARY FUND

The Fund provides bursaries to indigent students from the Swellendam municipal area. The Swellendam Bursary Fund was established to commemorate the lives of 27 teachers and learners who, together with the bus driver, died in the Swellendam Bus Disaster on 25 October 1975.

StreetSmart Swellendam, provided The Bursary Fund with a R30,000 disbursement towards further education of 8 students.

Good news story: Four of the students are being reared by female guardians or single mothers. Furthermore, both parents of two other students are unemployed. Nevertheless, these students and their families face their financial battles with courage. The bursaries that they received enabled the students to pay their registration fees at a time of year (January) when most households do not have R4 000 required for this purpose. Once the students are registered, they normally find the means to continue for the rest of the year.

We Deliver_Disbursements

II. Disbursement allocations from funds collected in 2017

Our Annual Handover Events mark the success of our fundraising efforts – it’s the very core of our existence as an organisation. A grand national total amount of R1,120,000 was allocated in 2017 for disbursement to beneficiaries and services to street children and children at risk.

Only approved organisations are invited to apply for funding. Recipients of StreetSmart 2017 funds will be required to submit a report by 31 August 2018 detailing how the funds were utilised. The Board of StreetSmart does beneficiary visits and will assess together with the reports whether the expenditure is in line with the approved proposals. The Board has requested that these funds be ring-fenced in beneficiaries’ audited accounts.

StreetSmart SA have been vital to particularly the transformation of our youth who now, thanks to your generous support, enable them to dream of a life filled with possibility and away from the streets of the city.” -Janthinus Schrage, Senior Manager: Marketing & Communications, PEN

Financial Summary

Audited Financial Statements for 2017 are attached as a separate document.

To the shareholders of StreetSmart Homeless Children’s Charity, South Africa

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of StreetSmart Homeless Children’s Charity, South Africa set out on pages 6 to 13, which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2017, and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of StreetSmart Homeless Children’s Charity, South Africa as at 31 December 2017, and its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa.

Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors Code of Professional Conduct for Registered Auditors (IRBA Code) and other independence requirements applicable to performing audits of financial statements in South Africa. We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the IRBA Code and in accordance with other ethical requirements applicable to performing audits in South Africa. The IRBA Code is consistent with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (Parts A and B). We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Supplementary information Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to the fact that the supplementary information set out on page 14 do not form part of the annual financial statements and are presented.

Responsibilities of the directors for the financial statements The directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company’s ability to continue asagoing concern, disclosing as applicable, matters related to a going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Untitled-1.indd 40 5/23/18 3:32 PM 39

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report However, future events or conditions may cause the company to cease to continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Money Matters

DONATION SOURCES

During 2017, StreetSmart SA raised a grand total of R 1,451,180 made up of donations, fundraisers and administration funds. Since inception in June 2005, StreetSmart SA has raised R 14,939,247.

Despite the political and economic challenges that plagued South Africa throughout 2017, StreetSmart is happy to report that we could again in 2017 show an increase in disbursement to beneficiaries. The same trend as in 2016 prevailed, in that overall donations showed a decrease, but the amount that was received from restaurant partners and their diners, and thus disbursed to beneficiaries, was higher. As expected and mentioned in our report last year, the economic and political climate did have a negative growth impact on charitable giving. Expanding our footprint, StreetSmart could, however, also disburse funds in Oudtshoorn and George at the end of 2017, which enabled us to assist more vulnerable children through the programmes run by the local selected beneficiaries.

Through the support and buy-in from our sponsors we could maintain our low operational cost and are still in a healthy financial position for the next 12 months. Fundraising events by, and for, StreetSmart remain encouraging and heart-warming, as this also highlights the support of the communities and StreetSmart volunteers, without whom these events would not have taken place. Fundraising events are essential for operational sustainability and we would need to work at increasing these opportunities.

MOVING FORWARD, TOGETHER, THROUGH OUR LOCAL COMMITTEES

The StreetSmart chapters in the various towns and cities are run by a volunteer co-ordinator and a committee of three to five volunteer members. They are the driving force behind the local StreetSmart operations, i.e. recruiting more restaurants, selecting the local beneficiary that runs programmes for street children, and securing a local media partner.

Local success very much depends on the managing and running of the StreetSmart committee and chapter – it takes time, effort and commitment to succeed.

To these branch co-ordinators and their committee members we give a standing ovation for their passion and action!

PARTNERING FOR IMPACT

Relationships are the building blocks of a solid foundation and the continued, and new, collaboration between StreetSmart and the organisers of these annual events remains heart-warming and provides us with a fantastic platform for brand exposure and building public relations.

CAPE LEGENDS & ARTISAN SPIRITS INTER HOTEL CHALLENGE

The Inter Hotel Challenge is a unique mentoring programme created to grow the hospitality industry. Since the start of this wonderful initiative five years ago, StreetSmart has been part of the Inter Hotel Challenge, the brain-child of Annette Kessler and Chania Morritt-Smith of Showcook. At the heart of it lies the belief that if people can cook together and eat together, they can live and work together - going beyond the competitive and focussing on being a unifying, job enhancing and skills developing challenge. This aligns perfectly with our outcomes and vision and we are very appreciative of this wonderful collaboration.

RESTAURANT WEEK

Restaurant Week, an international culinary event promoting dining out in general, invited StreetSmart again to partner with them in 2017. The event offers diners the opportunity to explore South Africa’s best restaurants, during Restaurant Week, with special menus at great prices. We are grateful for the wonderful synergy with Restaurant Week that assists us greatly in reaching out to increase our restaurants partner base.

LABIA THEATRE

Since 2011, Ludi Kraus, owner of Cape Town’s Labia Theatre, the oldest independent art-repertory movie cinema in South Africa, has successfully been showing movies about the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage to raise funds for StreetSmart. This event happens annually and we are so grateful for the continued relationship with the Labia Theatre and its special team.

SWISS HOTEL SCHOOL

As part of their curriculum, the third year students at the Swiss Hotel School, in Randburg, have a pop-up restaurant management module, and the class of 2017 decided to run StreetSmart in their restaurant. Their restaurant was called Panda – A Crafty Asian Eatery. During their month of operation, they generously raised money for StreetSmart Johannesburg.

CAPE CAMINO PILGRIMAGE

The Cape Camino is a local pilgrimage inspired by the Camino de Santiago in Northern Spain and the route around the is rich in local spiritual diversity, natural beauty and logistical support for pilgrims. During the last weekend in November 2017, the Pilgrims did a one-day personal pilgrimage that started at the Hout Bay Harbour to Karbonkelberg

STREETSMART GEORGE and OUDTSHOORN LAUNCHED

We were thrilled to launch StreetSmart in George and Oudtshoorn in 2017, and distributing funds to assist greater numbers of vulnerable and street children.

“Our sincere thanks to StreetSmart George for assisting us to employ a child and youth care worker in Blanco. We look forward to bringing change in many young lives through this partnership.” -Jonathan Gelderbloem, Project Director, YFC Kidstop.

“The Fat Fish has been supporting StreetSmart for a number of years! It has been wonderfully gratifying to observe first-hand the difference StreetSmart’s contribution has made in our community. It has been a tangible, rewarding process, which we are very proud to be associated with!” - Simon Ash.

“Our children are our future. Your R5 makes a difference. StreetSmart is one of only a few charity organisations where every cent donated via the StreetSmart programme, goes to a nominated local beneficiary.

We are proud to be part of this initiative and we are grateful for the generosity of diners and restaurants in town for supporting this cause.” - Niel Els, local businessman and StreetSmart Brand Ambassador.

BUSINESS OF WINE & FOOD TOURISM CONFERENCE

Specialized Tours & Events hosted The Business of Wine and Food tourism conference. This conference is the brain-child of Margi Biggs, Founder of StreetSmart SA, and presented on wine tourism trends and global best practices for wine and food tourism. We were grateful to have been selected as their CSI partner.

BRIDGE HOUSE SCHOOL PLAY

Bridge House School, situated in the magnificent Cape Winelands, is a well-established, independent day and boarding school for girls and boys from Playschool to Grade 12.

Bridge House embarked on a fundraising initiative in 2017, to create awareness through their school play, on the challenges faced by street children in the Western Cape. The play was a ‘twist’ on the “Oliver Twist story” about a little girl who found herself on the streets of Cape Town and having to overcome the challenges brought on by her circumstances. Apart from exposure given to StreetSmart during the run of the play, the school also created ways to raise funds through tuck shop sales for StreetSmart SA.

CAPE EPIC

The Absa Cape Epic takes place every year in the month of March, for a duration of 8 days. The route changes every year, and leads aspiring amateur and professional mountain bikers from around the world through approximately 700 kilometres of unspoilt nature of the Western Cape, including approximately 15 000m of climbing. In 2017, Team StreetSmart South Africa, comprising of Angelo Casu and Johan Fourie, took on the fierce cycle challenge and conquered all of 691 kilometres! A Total amount of R35,353 was raised in aid of StreetSmart South Africa.

CREATIVE COLLABORATION 4 CHARITY HIGH TEA

A glamorous High Tea fusion of fashion, food and interiors was held in Johannesburg in aid of StreetSmart South Africa.

I WISH

“I Wish…” is a performance project produced by Yarisha Singh and co-directed by living dance legend, Adele Blank, together with Lexi Parolis and Geoff Hyland. Adele is one of the first Contemporary dance pioneers in South Africa who continues to teach, choreograph, and direct at the age of 75 as well as remaining very influential in outreach work. Yarisha danced professionally in top ballet, contemporary and Flamenco companies in SA. The “I Wish” production was inspired by Yarisha’s four year old daughter who expressed her great wish to watch her ex-professional dancer mother perform again. Since the idea was born, Yarisha managed to round up an inspiring group of performers all of whom have retired from the stage for the same reason - to become parents and raise their children. The performers came together from 3 cities to unite on a stage on 23rd September 2017 at the Zip Zap Circus Dome on the Foreshore for a performance that thrilled audiences. The proceeds from the show were equally divided between StreetSmart SA and Zip Zap Circus School’s Outreach Program, called Dare to Dream.

TRAVEL BAGS

South African Travel Women’s Club was founded in 1958 as a non-profit organisation - it was the exclusively male clubs that were the fashion at the time, that led to its formation. The organisation has grown to a membership of 200 women, and activities include monthly luncheons providing excellent networking opportunities for women in the travel industry.

In addition, the luncheons allow sponsors to market their products directly to the travel industry on a one-on-one basis and money raised, are donated to the sponsor’s choice of charity. A Fundraiser in aid of StreetSmart was arranged by the South African Travel Women’s Club, in which R7,000 was raised at a luncheon and donated towards our cause of uplifting street children and children at risk.
