Badisa West Coast’s Awareness, Empowerment and Life Skills Programmes
Poppie Project
Badisa's Poppie (doll) project is a brilliant initiative that makes it possible for everyone to contribute to the protection of children in the West Coast.
Each doll gets a name and true story from a child who needs care and protection. Individuals can then make donations according to the specific child's needs.

Life Skills & Leadership Skills Programme
Badisa West Coast facilitates a Life-skills & Leadership Skills group work orogramme at different primary schools and high schools in the Saldanha Bay and Bergrivier municipal areas. This programme is designed for children who exhibit risky behaviour. We intervene by attending to the needs of these children by teaching them life skills, emotional intelligence and empathy while we promote healthy relationships.
Little Seeds Reading Programme for children
Through this reading programme facilitated in the Saldanha Bay and Bergrivier municipal areas, children learn new emotional words to identify their feelings and emotions. Their mathematical and reading skills improve.
Book characters teach them how to handle and understand traumatic life events such as the death of a parent or divorce.
