Why Donate to SOS Africa?

Since 2003, our grassroots charity has provided disadvantaged South African children, from Grades R to 12, with a personal education programme tailored specifically to their needs. SOS Africa also provides certified training courses for South Africa’s unemployed youth to kick-start their careers.

Our personal approach to charitable giving guarantees regular feedback to individual, business and school sponsors directly from our Founder/CEO. If you donate to help South African children in need, we can show the life-changing impact made by your donation. Charity sponsors can also visit our education projects to witness the lasting impact of their valued contribution.

Which Education Projects can my Donation Support?

SOS Africa’s interactive approach empowers donors to chose which education projects they support. Our grassroots charity is currently requesting donations towards the following educational services and projects in South Africa…

Donate towards Education and Care

Sponsor a child in South Africa | Sponsor African children

The most popular and interactive way to support the important work of our education charity is to sponsor a child in South Africa. This specific donation will secure a high standard of education, care and learning support for a South African child in need. In return, sponsors receive regular updates including school reports, photo albums, correspondence and can even visit and meet their sponsored child.

Donate towards a Child’s Health and Well-Being

Sponsor Health & Wellbeing for South African children in need

Donations can be made towards vital health and well-being support for disadvantaged South African children. Investing in essential services such as counselling, therapy, recreational activities and educational experiences can significantly improve a child’s mental and physical health.

More information about donating towards Health and Well-Being services.

Donate towards Educational Resources

Sponsor Education Resources & Equipment for Children in South Africa

Deciding to make a donation towards educational resources can enhance learning, support teaching and improve student outcomes by providing diverse, accessible and engaging ways to acquire knowledge. With a doubt, quality educational resources and equipment are essential for the success of both teachers and students in the educational process.

Donate towards Skills and Training for Young Adults

Donate towards skills and training programmes for South Africa's Youth

South Africa currently has the worst youth unemployment rate in the world! In response, SOS Africa has just launched a Skills and Training Academy. Donating towards holistic training courses for young adults in South Africa can provide them with skills and experience to improve their resumes and employability.

More information about donating towards skills and training.

Donate towards Charity Building Projects

Donate towards charity building and renovation projects in the Western Cape, South Africa

Investing in building projects can transform the educational services facilitated by SOS Africa and partnering schools. By sponsoring the construction of an SOS Africa Education Centre for example, you will enable the charity to provide extensive learning support and holistic after-school programmes. Potential building projects also include the construction of vital infrastructure such as classrooms, sanitation blocks and sports facilities.
