Vitality MoveToGive has partnered with Kids Haven to help protect and care for children and youth in crisis. You can help children feel happy, supported and safe by donating your Ðiscovery Miles to Kids Haven in the Discovery app.
Kids Haven is a registered non-profit organisation dedicated to the care and protection of vulnerable children.

It also empowers families, young people, and children to build safe and nurturing environments where everyone thrives.

"They are the mothers we never had" - Angelique
Angelique, a recent graduate of Kids Haven, says caregivers are the backbone of the organisation:
"Kids Haven would cease to exist had it not been for the hardworking and dedicated mothers that work there. You might call them childcare workers, but for us, the children growing up in children's homes, they are the mothers we never had. They feed us, help us with our homework, give us advice when we need it, gather us in their arms when we cry. They are mothers who never tell you that you are not their own children because to them you are. So they celebrate your successes and help you become who you need to be in life. The mothers in Kids Haven pulled me out of severe depression and showed me the world I need to make better. They comforted me through my anxiety attacks and reminded me to stay in the moment and look ahead. Never behind. They taught me that being a woman in this world is hard, so you need to be tough and strong to make it. And they gave me love even when I didn't want it. They nurtured the broken soul I had and made me the strong and capable woman I now am."
You can help children like Angelique, John, and other Kids Haven success stories get the love, support and education they need to change their destinies.
