The Out of Africa Children’s Foundation was established in 2007, inspired by Kim Highfield's personal and profound experience with cancer.
Her daughter was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 3 years, and is now a cancer survivor, living a normal healthy life.
With the growth of Out of Africa Children's Foundation a non-profit organisation was formed on 8 September 2010, called "Out of Africa Children's Foundation" (083-015-NPO).
