Kirsty Watts Foundation

Johannesburg

A donation from ICAP Charity Day will support Nuwehoop School in Worcester, catering for hearing impaired children who come from poor financial backgrounds making it difficult for them to get an adequate education. The Kirsty Watts Foundation endeavours each year to raise funds to provide much needed hearing aids, maintain existing aids and audiology equipment for these special needs learners.

Charity Overview

The Kirsty Watts Foundation is a non-profit, public benefit organisation which is financially administered within a Trust by Sentinel Management Services.

The mission of the trustees is to give children the opportunity to fulfil their potential by improving resources available to them in the environments they live and learn in.

Founded by 14 year old Kirsty Watts during her treatment and recovery from a malignant brain tumour, she wanted to help children less fortunate than herself, and has managed to fund many projects to do just this over the years.
