Our Story
During the inaugural ride by 3 friends in 2020, it was decided that this should become an annual event. The Teddy Bear Foundation was chosen as the charity of choice. We thus turned our passion for cycling into a benefit for the needy children and their families burdened by the social scourge of abuse.
Six months later the first full ride with more than 70 riders took place.
Teddy Bear Foundation – https://teddybearfoundation.org.za
The Teddy Bear Clinic for Abused Children (TTBC) originated in 1986 in response to an urgent need for medical examinations for sexually abused children. From there, it has grown into a fully-fledged child abuse NGO for abused children in South Africa.
Since the inception of the Child Abuse Clinic in 1986, there has been an increase in the number of referrals made to the Teddy Bear Foundation for Abused Children. This precipitated the development of additional programmes to address more than the medical needs of the children. The Teddy Bear Foundation for Abused Children expanded its services to prevent secondary victimisation of children and their families.
The Teddy Bear Foundation is now a registered child abuse organization that provides a holistic and integrated approach to children and their families.
