Greg Bertish’s highly acclaimed movie, OPTIMIST, tells the story of his daring trip on an Optimist Dinghy around the Cape of Storms.

We regularly host movie nights where we air this movie, followed by a small auction, all to raise funds for our Trust.

If you would like to host a movie night or donate items to be auctioned, please contact us. 

The Little Optimist has a heart for fun and adventure, so we regularly conjure up fantastical experiences to engage with our supporters and raise much needed funds for The Little Optimist Trust.

The Great Optimist Race  is our primary fundraiser every year and fast becoming the most unique and amazing charity event in Cape Town.

Anisha

The Little Optimist Trust has been supporting Anisha since for 4 years and we continue to be amazed at her resilience and continued optimism, despite her personal circumstances. Diagnosed with Systemic Lupus, an auto-immune disease, aged 11, she struggles with mobility and vision. Prior to Covid-19, we supported Anisha with regular physiotherapy sessions. Her needs have changed slightly with the continued lockdown and economic pressure on her family.

R1500 a month covers her basic food, supplements and transport costs for her doctor’s visits.

Help us keep Anisha on the road to recovery.

Sailing Therapy

Our aim is to use the exposure to sailing as a means to facilitate mental and physical healing and improve quality of life. We believe sailing therapy plays a key role in helping vulnerable kids to overcome their physical and mental hardships. It Improves motor skills and coordination, self-confidence, independence, identity formation, focus, and pride through accomplishment.

We use sailing to show that the benefits of this therapeutic and recreational rehabilitative activity, can offer all of the above as well as the experience of adventure, mobility, and freedom.

Help us bring joy and purpose to at risk youth.
