The German Charity Organization Positiv Leben e.V. (Living Positive) was founded in October 2003 by Vulamasango project founder Florian Kraemer and is registered as a Non-Profit Organization in Mannheim/Germany.
The charity envisions the founding, maintaining and funding of children's projects in South Africa, which have as their principal aim the basic care, education and vocational training of vulnerable, impoverished, abused, orphaned and HIV-positive children in the townships of South Africa. The core mission is to establish a Children's Home in Cape Town/South Africa.
The founding idea behind the charity Positiv Leben e.V. was to set up a fundraising entity in Germany, through which the necessary financial resources could be raised for Mr. Kraemer's goal of setting up a Children's Home in Cape Town. Since its inception in 2003 the charity has increased its membership base steadily and close to 5 million € have been raised to date (2020). This money was used in accordance with the mission statement: The setting up and maintenance of the Children's Home Vulamasango – Open Gates for vulnerable, impoverished, abused, orphaned and HIV-positive children in the townships of Cape Town (and its predecessor project Indawo Yentsikelelo, from 2004 - 2009).
Besides the continued fundraising for once-off donations from individuals and companies, the charity specifically aims to sign up a growing number of members who feel connected to the organization's goals and who provide a fixed monthly income to the organization through small monthly membership fees, which cover the bulk of the operating costs. Without this committed and loyal base of members, the work of Vulamasango would simply not be possible!
In order to show our gratitude to our members and funders in Europe and to "give back", we have been organising a bi-annual concert tour to Europe since 2007, mostly performing in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, with children and youth from the Vulamasango children's project in Cape Town. The concerts of our youth choir, known as Vulingoma, serve a threefold purpose:
