Raise-a-Child
The Raise a child initiative allows businesses and individuals to support and empower the youth of Alexandra through a monthly donation of just ZAR2,000. This programme allows Rays of Hope to ensure the basic, fundamental needs of a child are taken care of, so that they can focus on what’s matters most – enjoying their childhood.
Monthly contributions can change a child’s life, and allows us to provide the holistic support they need for a brighter future, and to become thriving, contributing members of society in the future. These contributions help cover the following costs:
- Provide families with food parcels when needed
- Assist with school fees payments and educational excursions
- Daily nutritional meals
- Access to psychosocial support services
- Stationery packs at the start of the year
- Provision of educational toys, puzzles and books
- Sandwiches and fruit every week
- Additional tutoring for specialised subjects
