About us
We are here to empower children and support communities.

Welcome to Children at Play (C@P), a dedicated non-profit organisation supporting the less fortunate in South Africa. At C@P, we rely entirely on the generosity of volunteers and donors. We take pride in the fact that 100% of your contributions go directly to our cause, as none of our members receive administration fees. Everyone involved is committed to making a positive impact on South African communities.
We are a group of four friends, all with businesses and regular jobs, united by our passion for making a difference in our beautiful country. Through our combined efforts, we strive to contribute positively to South Africa by doing good and supporting those in need.
Our organisation collaborates with various sponsors and partners to support children from all backgrounds through charitable contributions and cause-related activities. Our support ranges from monetary donations to assets, all of which are distributed to those in need.

Lion du Plessis, the Founder and Chairperson of C@P, brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to our organisation.

Through our initiatives—C@P Food, C@P Education, C@P Sport, C@P Health, and C@P Ministries—we strive to provide children with the tools they need to grow into responsible and productive citizens.
We invite individuals and companies alike to join us in changing the world for individuals.
