in aid of The Darling Trust
“Making the dream of a better life a reality”
The Darling Trust was established in August 2003 by founding member, former trustee and present patron, Pieter-Dirk Uys. The Trust was set up to assist the previously disadvantaged communities of Darling. They aim to empower individuals to help themselves, mainly through participation in the sectors of education, skills development and health.
Their philosophy is strongly opposed to the handout culture that some organisations inadvertently create. They aim to genuinely create projects that help people to help themselves, to truly empower people by being proactive - motivating, educating, and providing people with the skills to survive despite the most challenging of circumstances.
