47% of South African citizens rely on grants for survival, costing the country approximately R22 billion a month.
South Africa’s current aid system offers handouts, creating dependency without fostering lasting change or driving meaningful social, environmental or economic improvement.
We’re advocating for a more effective aid model that rewards community contribution and empowers citizens, thereby reducing government spending and allowing for more resources to develop self-sufficient citizens.
The #BeyondAid2030 Campaign
We’re advocating for a change in the way we do aid and for the inclusion of beneficiary partners in aid conversations to ensure they have a voice in their own development.
The Xchange Program
The Xchange Program for Changemakers rewards individuals for participating in initiatives that promote greener, cleaner, safer, more resilient communities and self-sufficiency.
