NGOs in South Africa play a vital role in delivering services to the poor. They assist orphans and vulnerable children to find hope and healing through psycho-social, financial and educational support. They build houses and provide water, sanitation and energy in poor rural and urban communities. They offer accredited training programmes that enable the unemployed to find work in difficult financial times. They collect data and conduct research, enabling them to design and implement more effective programmes over time. They also use this data to lobby government and advocate for change. Without your support, these services might cease. Please Support Us by helping to support them!.
