Pippa Jarvis serves as the Managing Director of TLC and Embrace Village, nestled in the vibrant community of Walkerville, Southern Johannesburg. For the past thirty years, she has been privileged to walk alongside the noble mission of TLC, a haven for abandoned babies and children in need.
Pippa holds a bachelor's degree in education and has a heart brimming with compassion. Her journey has been guided by a simple desire to ensure that every child finds a place to call home. Her role at TLC has been a labor of love, advocating tirelessly for the placement of over 900 children into loving families, a cause that resonates deeply with her. Fun fact: Pippa has adopted 14 children, four of whom have HIV and some with complex learning difficulties.
In 2010, Pippa was recognized as one of the top 200 young South Africans by the Mail and Guardian. Her commitment to continuous learning has been a cornerstone of her journey, reflected in programs like the Common Purpose Navigator and a Certificate in SocialEntrepreneurship from the Gordon School of Business.
Pippa's latest endeavor, Embrace Village, is a testament to her belief in the power of community and support. With a heart full of hope, she is working to create a space where families can find solace and resilience in times of need. Embrace Village currently operates as a community center for the children of Walkerville. Every weekend, she hosts 30+ kids at her home for activities, food, and fun. She also leads parenting workshops and other classes for families at risk.
