SOLSA has 5 active members and all work is done on a volunteer basis, donating time and often personal resources whenever the individual members can make the time. The primary focus of SOLSA has become education of orphans, vulnerable children and caregivers, this includes paying fees, mentoring and supporting the students in whatever way is appropriate, assessing needs of individuals trained, finding education programs, administration and raising funds to pay for tuition, transport and some pocket money for students where needed.
We are expanding our vision to research real sustainable solutions for the homes we work with. As we learn from the financial challenges a Non Profit goes through we look for ways to introduce entrepreneurship to lessen the dependency on government and organisations like ourselves.
