The Kingsley Holgate Foundation has been set-up to save and improve lives through adventure – humanitarian expeditions that make a difference.

One Net One Life

Its like a thud to the heart when you get to a remote village far from any regular health services and find a mother screaming, not knowing what to do with a child that is dying from Malaria. Ive had Malaria more than 40 times and I know what it is like. The shocking statistic is that for every minute of every day and night 3 African babies die from the blood sucking bite of the Anopheles Mosquito. Research indicates that a mother will share a mosquito with 2 or 3 infants, lives that can be saved by the use of a simple mosquito net and malaria prevention education.

We primarily give Mosquito Nets to pregnant women and children under the age of 5, but Malaria Prevention Education is given to entire communities.

Right to Sight

The difference that a simple pair of spectacles can instantly make in someone’s life is heart warming. All of a sudden an elderly person can see, can work, can cook, can thread a needle, can mend a fishing net, weave a mat and can continue to play an effective roll in the community without being a burden. It is         life changing.

        Teaching on The Edge

       Imagine the joy of getting to a remote rural bush school that doesn’t even       have a blackboard or desks let alone pens, pencils and colouring in books.      The children dance with joy.

    Aptly named Teaching on the Edge because of its original link to the Outside    Edge Expedition. The distribution of mobile libraries and learning materials to   remote schools and communities improves literacy and gives the children the opportunity to improve their English. This project has now gone further to include the supply of permanent 40ft container libraries complete with roof, veranda, doors, windows, books and shelves.

The Teaching on The Edge initiative is supported by Centurus Colleges and Rotary International.

  Nelson Mandela once said “Education is the most powerful   weapon which you can use to change the world”.

      How Funds are Utilised
      Funds from The Kingsley Holgate Foundation are used        directly to enable expeditions to provide practical, on         the ground, grass roots level humanitarian work to          uplift African communities.

Our loyal sponsor partners provide us with the tools and equipment needed for the humanitarian expeditions: Land Rovers, tyres, tents, inflatable boats, outboard engines, communications equipment and on... The expedition team and volunteers have the knowledge and the passion.

You can be a part of these adventures in saving and improving lives by supporting the Kingsley Holgate Foundation.
