Our Projects and Focus Areas

Poverty alleviation
and
restoring dignity

Despite major strides made in South African democracy over the past twenty years, disproportionate development is still widespread across the country, which has entrapped many disadvantaged communities in a vicious cycle of poverty.

Upliftment and Education

In many first world nations, education is viewed as a right and not as a privilege. In South Africa, the opposite is true.

Every year it is estimated that nearly 250,000 school-aged children in South Africa do not attend school—and the older the child is, the less like he or she is to attend.

Empowerment

Operation Snow Drop is proud to contribute towards vital, long-term empowerment initiatives that give the youth of South Africa the skills and confidence they need to find gainful employment and to improve both their lives and their community.

Spreading joy

Operation Snow Drop believes spreading joy throughout the community can make a difference one person at a time. Through kindness and generosity, we support the culture of not only being humane, but enforce the fact that spreading joy is also a part of being human.
