Thabo is seven. He lives with his grandmother in a township a forty‑minute walk from school. On mornings when there is porridge at the school plate, his fingers stop trembling. His teacher, Nomsa, says he now raises his hand to read. Your monthly Nourisher makes that steady bowl possible — not a one‑off, but a rhythm. Each month you guarantee a child begins their day with food, warm and measured.

'She reaches for her spoon like a prayer. Those meals let her learn.' — Nomsa, teacher

Zola used to skip school when the uniform was ripped and shoes missing. A Protector gift stitches more than fabric — it stitches confidence. When Zola wears uniform and has books, she stays in class; teachers give her time; mentors help with homework. Your monthly $45 pays for the items and the after‑school program staff who make school a safe place to be.

Guardian — $100 / month

For $100 you create a sanctuary for a mother and child. You are their shield from abuse and despair.

Lerato came to the clinic scared and exhausted. A Guardian gift buys more than nights in shelter — it buys a case worker who keeps a family from fracturing. It funds counselling where trauma is named, legal support to keep mothers and children safe, and the small things that make a child able to sleep without fear. Your first month funds a welcome pack and initial case work; continued months sustain the path home.
