About Donating to Save the Children South Africa

Every child deserves to have a good start in life and the best conditions for a successful future. However, many children in South Africa are not having the same opportunities to develop and reach their full potential.

YOU have the power to change this reality. Not only for the children in South Africa, but for your future too. 

By supporting a quality education, an improvement in health and nutrition, you will also facilitate the promotion and protection of your rights, spaces free of violence and gender equity in your school, your home and your community.

Our promise to you is to share the stories of children whose lives you are changing. We’ll do this through:

  • Regular email updates
  • Reports from our relief workers in the field
  • Results and highlights of the programs you’re funding
  • Opportunities to connect directly with the team inside Save the Children
  • Exclusive invitations to special events
