2025: ‘Next-Step’ Foundation for the Homeless

Some 14,000 people sleep rough on the streets of Cape Town in South Africa. The Next-Step Foundation has its origins at Common Ground Church in Sea Point, Cape Town, whose motto is to “Be like Jesus. Become like Jesus. Do what Jesus would do.” We assist churches in our town and country with the implementation of homelessness-related initiatives. We promote a model for helping the homeless that is both manageable and affordable, while it nurtures independence and self-motivation.

Global Projects

2025 FIJI: Vaccine Temperature Monitoring Study

Vaccines are sensitive biological products. Excessive heat, freezing, or temperature fluctuations, for whatever reason, can damage them and make them ineffective. We assist UNICEF to carry out a temperature monitoring study of the Fiji vaccine supply chain, in order to identify and locate sources of damaging temperature exposure.

2024 EAST TIMOR: Standard Operating Procedures

As well as assessing the vaccine supply chain, we develop Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for immunization managers and vaccine handlers. SOPs are fundamental in managing complex operations efficiently and effectively, reducing variability, and providing all employees with clear guidelines on how to perform their roles.

2024 SOLOMON ISLANDS, NAURU, NIUE: Assessing the Vaccine Supply Chain

The Solomon Islands were named in 1568 by the Spanish navigator Alvaro de Mendaña, who claimed that he had found the riches of King Solomon, or the biblical land of gold. This assessment follows up on progress made since the last assessment in 2017, to further strengthen the immunization program. For Nauru and Niue this is their first assessment. link
