How We Can Help?

Families Assisted

Kids Helped

The Pettet Foundation provides crisis intervention and inclusion services for disadvantaged children.  We work mainly  through Primary Schools  and other support groups. Generally we do not offer direct contact. We are an immediate charity and we do not provide long term assistance.

You are not alone.

The Pettet Foundation can provide professional support from a registered psychologist, social workers, speech therapists and numerous others who donate their time freely to help families in dire need of assistance.

“Unlike government bodies and larger charity bodies we are able to act at a moment’s notice.”
