This long-term vision captures the central role society plays in shaping children's lives and the mission is to give voice and dignity to the African child by building a rights-based movement.

The Fund's role is to act with extreme vigilance in closing the gaps through Immunisation Coverage, HIV -AIDS Treatment or Prevention and tackling Malnutrition.

The Fund's approach is about developing an activity based implementation plan considering the existing gaps at that level due to resource constraints.

Over the past 10 years, the hosting of the NMCP rotated across all provinces to create an opportunity for the children of South Africa to participate equally.

The Fund's Sustainable Livelihoods Project (SLP) was introduced in 2009 to address poverty experienced by families, especially in areas that have been identified by government as nodal points.

The SLP aim to strengthen families and communities to cope with the situation of vulnerability while creating a better life and brighter future for the children.

The SHG's are engaged in savings mobilisation programmes and income generating activities, they also convene regular meetings to address challenges they face in their homes and communities.
