Reach for a dream

For 29 years the Reach For A Dream Foundation has been able to fulfill the dreams of life-threatened children. No dream is too big or small. Reach For A Dream has always sought to inspire hope, courage and strength in the lives of children who need it most.

Alec Cowan, is a 13 year old boy who suffers with T Cell Lymphoma and his dream was to own his own Phantom 4 drone. Alec was completely overwhelmed one day when flying towards him over the ocean was his very own drone. In this moment he and his family forgot all about his illness and the struggles that he faces on a daily basis. Alec sent a message soon after his dream day stating… “Thank you for my drone, I fly it every day. And thank you to RFAD for helping me to know that dreams really do come true.”
Alec’s story is not a unique one, but one that many children in South Africa face. RFAD would like to continue helping as many children as possible to believe in the power of dreams and to encourage them to keep on fighting their illness.

Durban & Coast SPCA

The Durban & Coast SPCA has been ‘speaking for animals’ for over 100 years. From humble beginnings in 1897, we have grown to a large and successful organisation  operating from spotless, modern premises in Springfield Park.

We ‘speak’ for animals

The Durban & Coast Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (South Africa) is a registered non-profit organisation (002-312 NPO) and public benefit organisation (PBO 930001302), an incorporated association not for gain and a member of the National Council of SPCAs.

We rescue abused and neglected domestic, farm and wild animals, promote responsible pet ownership, provide a shelter for strays, and a veterinary service for pets of underprivileged people.

We receive no state funding and are reliant on the community we serve for operating costs. Compassion costs nothing, but pet food, veterinary equipment and supplies, vehicles for transporting rescued animals, etc does.

The Durban & Coast SPCA’s mission is to improve the welfare of, and to prevent cruelty to, all animals in the Greater Durban Area

We achieve this by:

Responding to reports of cruelty, rescuing animals in distress and prosecuting those guilty of cruelty;

Sheltering strays and unwanted dogs and cats until they are claimed by their owners or new owners can be found for them;

Treating sick and injured rescued animals;

Providing subsidised veterinary services for pets of underprivileged and unemployed people, and pensioners;

Educating children and others with regard to the basic rights of animals, responsible pet ownership;

Offering affordable boarding kennels for dogs;

Promoting respect and concern for all living creatures.
