THE NORTH POLE PROJECT
VISION
​
To raise awareness of HIV Aids in South Africa and the plight and strength of the children the virus affects, and to raise money for Children of the Dawn.
​
WHY?
​
To make a difference to at least one person’s life whilst fulfilling our own dreams.
​
Children of the Dawn was set up to support and strengthen existing or budding community initiatives which focus on caring for HIV/AIDS orphans. Based on a sponsorship programme, Children of the Dawn’s goal is to give back a future to these affected children.
