Kid Aid is based on the idea that every child deserves an equal opportunity at life, regardless of their background. While volunteering for Children of Fire, Kid Aid founder, Kaone Mosime, was exposed to the life that children at the Slovo Squatter are forced to live in. Squatter Camps are environments where people, including children, live in atrocious conditions such as, people crammed closely together, with little food, sometimes there is no water and electricity, there’s stagnant water and what people call a home is a flimsy shack. Having a stable life there is like standing in quicksand. The youth already believes that it has no future because they already feel neglected by the system. Hence, based on her passion of helping young people, Kaone thought that it would be a good idea if an organisation was founded to help the children realise their potential, and that their dreams shouldn’t be limited just because of their background.
