GROUNDBREAKERS is an NPO organization that partners with resources that will help my community for the better. We have four pillars we build on which is REPLACE – PRICELESS – INSPIRE - CONNECT. Through these pillars sprouts many projects such as awareness programmes, school programmes, social entertainment, etc. Our aim is to look at the child holistically in offering help and to be interested in their interests as well in creating a pure clean environment where youth can have relaxing enjoyable memories in creating new positive ones each day.

Groundbreakers seeks to work in partnership with institutional donors, trusts and foundations that understand the complex nature of removing a child from their parents unless absolutely necessary and offer to build a safe haven for a certain period for a child resulting in any form of abuse and rights being violated of the youth/child as to get the necessary resource in to assist the matter.
