The Bridge The Gap Foundation is a South African foundation that was so named because its aim is to try to bridge the gap between the have's and the have-nots.

At The BTG, we help disadvantaged children, animals and communities in two main ways:

• We provide financial support to assist in many ways, for example, by educating children who can't afford to go to school, buying educational equipment for poor community schools, and paying for the treatment and rehabilitation of animals in sanctuaries and wildlife centres.
• We work together with Travellers Worldwide to provide practical, hands-on help. TWW volunteers work in Third World countries in many different areas, for example:
  -helping to teach language and academic subjects to poverty-stricken children,
  -caring for orphans and abused children
  -working with the community to develop business and social infrastructures
  -assisting with much-needed conservation and research with wildlife
  -caring for abused, orphaned and threatened animals and preparing them to rehabilitation and release back into the wild to lead a natural life

The strategic goal of The Bridge the Gap Foundation is to make a measurable and sustainable difference in communities by:

• Promoting and supporting initiatives/projects that benefit the education of rural, underprivileged, orphaned, handicapped or disabled children.
• Promoting, fostering and supporting initiatives and projects that contribute to the conservation of the environment, wildlife, and the biodiversity of species, including research programs, the re-introduction of species, the care and rehabilitation of fauna and flora.
• Promoting and fostering environmental education
• Encouraging the donation, collection and bequesting of funding to support these initiatives.
