When searching for the best charities to donate to, it can be hard to know where your money will be most appreciated, most well-used, and most impactful. If you’re looking to give to a charity in Africa, consider making a donation to SOS Africa. With your support, we’re working to help secure the education, care, and well-being of South African children in need.
How will my donation be used by SOS Africa?
Since we were established in 2003, SOS Africa Charity has invested 100% of all donations made into the education and care of the South African township children we seek to serve.
We aim to provide everything they need to thrive. Thanks to the invaluable charitable donations made by our supporters since 2003, the first SOS Africa Graduates are now through the education system and are either in university or full-time employment.
Why Donate to SOS Africa?
With the help of loyal donors, sponsors and fundraisers, our grassroots charity has provided disadvantaged South African children, from grades 1 to 12, with a personal education programme tailored specifically to their needs. Our personal approach to charitable giving enables us to provide regular feedback to the individuals, businesses and schools who decide to donate money to help our African children. If you, your colleagues or students donate to the SOS Africa Children’s Charity, we can show the invaluable impact made by your charitable donation.
