Your donation helps keep our programmes sustainable, and builds capacity in other like-hearted organisations. Whether it is a once-off gift or a regular monthly contribution, your giving goes directly towards family strengthening, early childhood development and recovery work on the ground.
There are a number of ways to get involved on the ground, from on-site volunteering and skills-based support, to short-term teams from overseas. Volunteers have helped run vacation Bible school programmes, supported outreach days with Hope Men and Hope Men Youth, and joined Open days that showcase the community's progress.
Because we work directly with vulnerable children and families, all volunteers go through an application and screening process, in keeping with our responsibility to protect the people we serve.
While we do find medium to long term volunteering the most beneficial for the children and families we serve, we are open to chat and find out more about what's on your heart. Looking forward to hearing from you.
If you are under 16 years old, please bring a parent or guardian along.
Yes. We welcome short-term teams from overseas as well as local, on-site and skills-based volunteers.
If you are interested in volunteering, please email hello@handsandfeet.org.za, or apply by filling in the form. We will get back to you with the next steps.
We love collaborations, and we are always excited to come alongside organisations and businesses who share our values, whether through the Impact and equipping, training and capacity building, partnership relationship or corporate partnership. This might mean sharing our experience, programmes and tools with another organisation, exploring a shared programme, or supporting our work through a corporate giving relationship. We would love to hear from you if your organisation, church or business shares our vision of empowering families and restoring communities.
Family2Family matches one of the Hope families we support through wraparound services with a partner family who wants to walk alongside their journey. The commitment runs for a year, with a monthly donation, and our family coach keeps the partner family updated with news and photos along the way. It is a direct, personal way to support a vulnerable family breaking out of cycles of trauma, poverty, abuse and unemployment. This support can also be given on an anonymous basis.
