RIDE FOR CHARITY IN RIDE JOBURG!!

🎉 WE HAVE MOVED! 🎉

Thank you to everyone who has donated time, talent and money to help us move to our new home in Brakpan. Without your constant support and blessing, this would not have been possible. 🙏✨

We have started a new chapter with new beginnings, looking forward to the hope of a fresh new spring season just around the corner. We are now taking some time to unpack and heal from the difficulties we left behind. God goes before us and our path is made straight by his faithfulness. We have had the awesome pleasure of people partnering with us every step of the way and seen the miracles of Gods provision!

📚 School Update:
Our online school classroom is officially up and running just in time for the new term to start!

🛠️ How You Can Help:
Our new home still needs quite a few repairs, and donations are most welcome as we settle in.

📞 Please contact Sue directly if you are able to help in any way.

Thank you for walking this journey with us! ️❤️

A gentle reminder to our donors.  Please do not hesitate to contact us should you require a tax certificate for your donation.  Some of our donations are paid with little payment reference information which makes a personal thank you tricky.  However, we are extremely grateful for all the donations received and we express our sincere thanks to every person who has supported us along the way.

DONATING THROUGH SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND B-BBEE

The Village Safe Haven is a SARS registered Public Benefit Organisation (PBO) that aligns with socio-economic donations (SED) principles in South African business.  Our PBO, NPO relies heavily on donations, as our grant money covers less than 10% of each child’s Housing and Education expenses.  We urgently require the partnership of South African businesses to survive.

You can donate up to 1% of your net profit after tax and receive a Section 18A tax certificate from us.  Should you wish to partner with us. Please follow these steps by making your monetary contribution, which will directly benefit 75% of black persons born or naturalised to South Africa. 

We value responsible giving and suggest that donors should ensure that The Village Safe Haven uses the contribution as intended for sustainable economic access for beneficiaries.
