Ways you can donate & make a difference
There are various ways you can make a difference. See below all our donation requirements and how you can be instrumental in the success of these projects and programmes.
Donate towards our School Uniform Fund
Etafeni support over 140 children through our early childhood and after-school support activities. The children that come to our Preschool & Crèche and Afterschool programmes come from families engulfed by poverty and unemployment, mainly dependent on social grants or seasonal work.
These families only have money to buy only the basics for the families such as food and electricity. Etafeni has also stepped in to assist these families by providing school uniforms to the children in our Preschool & Crèche and Afterschool. Partner with us and make sure that each child feels comfortable and is ready for school in 2023. Donate R290 per child per school uniform pack or Donate a large sum of R50000 to ensure that all the children get a school uniform; socks, and shoes.

Donate towards our Food and Nutrition Security Activities
The lack of food security is one of the most urgent crises facing our country today. Every day over 20 million South African men, women and children go to bed hungry. We live in a country that produces an abundance of fresh, nourishing food that could feed all our citizens, but one of the central problems is that 10 million tons of food go to waste every year.
As part of our efforts as Etafeni to systemic causes of hunger while simultaneously tackling the immediate food security crisis through rescuing nutritious food and delivering it where it’s needed most. R45 rands a day can make a difference in the lives of the children and women we support at Etafeni. Partner with us and donate to feed a Child and Family that is in need.
