Ways to give

How to help us

There are many ways to stand with the children. Choose the one that fits you best, or reach out and we will find the right fit together.

Sponsor a child

For many children, poverty is the main barrier to an education. Your sponsorship covers school fees, uniforms, books and learning materials so a child can stay in school and dream big.

Corporate social responsibility

Partner with us as a corporate sponsor. Your support helps us provide a safe, loving home for the children and contributes to lasting community development.

Celebrate your special day with us

Mark your birthday, anniversary or joyous moment by sharing it with the children. Bring a meal, a gift, or simply your presence and a smile.

Individual giving

Contributions from individuals like you keep food on the table and the lights on. Give once, give regularly, or give in memory of a loved one.

Donate items

Food items, clothing, toiletries, mattresses, books and school materials are always needed. Get in touch and we will let you know what the home needs most right now.

Volunteer

Share your time and skills. Teach, mentor, help with homework or support events at the home. Your presence tells a child that someone cares.

Volunteering

Guidance for volunteers

Academics are often challenging for children who have not had a stable home. Helping a child read, understand maths or simply finish homework removes barriers to success. Here is what you need to know:

  1. 1

    Proximity

    Your location matters. Consider applying if you live close enough to the home for regular attendance not to be an issue.

  2. 2

    Schedule

    Volunteering hours follow the home's routine. You would usually be allotted a couple of hours per day, or on alternate days.

  3. 3

    Periods

    Volunteering typically takes place during school holidays, long vacations and break periods.

  4. 4

    Contact

    After reviewing applications, we may only be able to contact shortlisted volunteers, in line with the needs of the children in the home.
