ABOUT BRAVE LIFE NPC
We are a registered NPC with PBO approval that exists to support children with Down Syndrome and other disabilities through four distinct initiatives.
OUR BRAVE HISTORY
Our story begins with the spark of a courageous life. Aragorn Brave was born in 2018 and came with a surprise extra chromosome. Joy Cronjé, his proud mommy, is our founder.
In the early days of Brave’s life, the family had very little support and no experience raising a child with Down Syndrome. This prompted lots of research about intellectual disabilities and outreach to the global Down Syndrome community. Her own need for information, support, and community inspired her to start a local play and support group.
Joy and her husband learned about the complex and challenging journey of raising a child with Down Syndrome through experience.
They reached out to other parents of children with Down Syndrome with a desire to bring hope and joy to the lives of individuals and families alike. And so began Brave Life, an initiative sparked by one brave soul.
THE BRAVE DREAM
There is so much a parent can do to help their child with Down Syndrome and special needs to reach their true potential. With access to important information and real support, families can reignite a sense of hope and joy. Our dream is to enhance the lives of children with Down Syndrome, special needs and their families.
To see kids and teens with special needs live their best life. To give them the best possible start from birth, and to show the kids that nothing is impossible. They can do all things and they can reach their life aspirations.
OUR VALUES
B.R.A.V.E
BE UBUNTU
Raising children with a disability takes a village. We believe the collaborative efforts of companies, specialists, parents, and a loving community can help give these special kids a better quality of life.
REACH FOR THE STARS
Dreams that may seem impossible are not out of reach. We believe kids with disabilites are full of potential. Developmental disabilities do not equal impossibility.
ACT WITH INTEGRITY
Integrity is one of our chief values. We believe honesty and transparency are building bricks in the foundation of a strong organisation. That’s why we take the responsible, ethical stewardship of funds seriously.
VALUE EVERYONE
Everyone deserves love, care, and the absence of fear. We believe each child is a valuable human able to contribute to society and deserving of all the support they may need to flourish.
DONATE TO MAKE ALL THIS POSSIBLE
Brave Life NPC relies solely on donations. Without your help and support, we cannot realise our vison of enhancing the lives of children with disabilities. You can support us in the following ways.
