The origin of Ugu Kidz
In 2013, Tony Aquila, the then CEO of Solera Holdings, sent a video message to all employees. The mission: come with ideas for Solera's LIFT program. The LIFT program is dedicated to people who deserve a second chance in life.
Ugu Kidz
The "Children of Gamalakhe" foundation will continue under the name "Ugu Kidz". This is to reflect the wider range of support and projects provided by the foundation to children with disabilities.
Why these children?
Children with a disability are extra vulnerable: often being left to fend for themselves, no father figure present , living in extreme poverty, suffering from both physical & sexual abuse for example.
