It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Andrea Deeth, the visionary founder of the Child Abuse Prevention Foundation (CAPF). Andrea’s tireless dedication to our community has left an indelible mark on countless lives.

A Legacy of Advocacy

Andrea Deeth established CAPF three years ago as a grassroots initiative to raise awareness about family violence. She tirelessly engaged with the community, distributing informational pamphlets and advocating for the protection of children. Her commitment to preventing child abuse was unwavering, and her impact will resonate for generations.

Remembering Andrea

Andrea’s legacy extends beyond her role as a founder. She was a compassionate educator, having taught in Otara, where her connection to the community remained strong. Her passion for safeguarding children and supporting families was evident in every endeavor she undertook.

As we mourn her loss, let us honor Andrea Deeth’s memory by continuing the vital work she started. CAPF remains committed to its mission, and we invite everyone to join us in creating a safer, more nurturing environment for our children.

Rest in peace, Andrea Deeth. Your legacy lives on.
