Shelter, care, and empowerment of destitute, abused and disadvantaged mothers and their children.
We are motivated by the principle of empowerment and do our best to enable disadvantaged and distressed women and their children to find relief, support and a chance to become independent, confident and self-sufficient.
– Helping SA
We support families that are down on their luck at the moment with CHILDREN, because we believe that children are the future of South Africa and that is the reason why we exist. HELPING SA are getting involved with Councillors across South Africa so that we can help in all areas where needed.
We support families, safety houses for women and children, orphanages, old age homes, early development centres where children can have a chance at early development while their parents can do their work in peace knowing that their children are well looked after and do not need to worry about school accounts as they cannot in the first place afford it. We have also received more early development centres in January 2013 to provide and assist with food, clothing, furniture, electricity and whatever they may need. We also busy with the soup kitchens in the community, the soup kitchens help those families that we can’t provide for on a monthly basis as poverty increases on a daily basis, HELPING SA will still support all the causes, centres and families that we did since 2008.
We would love to do more greatness in the years to come but we won’t be able to accomplish our dreams and goals to make South Africa a better place without the help of our fellow citizens.
Mandela Day
We made a donation to this worthy cause in celebration of Mandela Day.
The Mdzananda Story
It all started with a community hero who wanted to help his neighbours pets. Mr Jo from the Khayelitsha pushed a trolley and water bucket around the community, bathing and feeding community pets. He soon attracted volunteers to assist him.
A long standing volunteer was able to secure funding from the International Fund of Animal Welfare to assist this man in his animal saving efforts. Overwhelmed by the funding, he decided to hand the project over to this volunteer who grew the Mdzananda Animal Clinic and became the full time Project Manager up until May 2015 when a new Director joined Mdzananda.
Highly respected and supported by the Khayelitsha community, the Mdzananda Animal Clinic was founded in 1996 in response to the need to provide primary veterinary healthcare services to a fast growing community that had no access to help for their animals. It is a permanent, non profit, veterinary council registered animal hospital serving up to 1000 pets per month.
Initially Mdzananda worked from a single donated shipping container with no running water or electricity. Today, thanks to the support of our donors, Mdzananda is a fully functioning animal haven running 6 days a week.
Mdzananda means distemper in the local isiXhosa dialect – a viral disease affecting many animals in the Khayelitsha community.
Eid
Wishing all our Muslim staff, clients and colleagues Eid Mubarak. And in the spirit of giving, we have made a donation to The Mustadafin Foundation.
– The Mustadafin Foundation
The Mustadafin Foundation was established in 1986 during the Apartheid era. It emerged as a result of political unrest and violence in the Crossroads township. Crossroads, at that time was isolated and violence that erupted was due to faction fighting. It had a devastating effect on the local community, particularly women and children.
