A message from our ambassador, David Campbell

As a grass roots charity you can’t go past Backpacks 4 SA Kids. They’re run by people who care, who are on the ground, who see things up close, using their knowledge to make a significant difference in children and young adult’s lives.

Making a Difference

  • Work in conjunction with child welfare, child protection, family violence and homelessness agencies.
  • Provide as many displaced children as possible with an age-appropriate backpack containing a range of items.
