Larger items/needs:
Electricity: Between R1500-R2500 p/m depending on season, monetary donations Please help us spread the word about the debit order system we can set up for all those wanting to donate to Isithembiso on a monthly basis.
There is a form for all donors to complete and we take care of the rest of the administration for you.
As much as we deeply appreciate donations of goods, the monetary donations are also needed to pay rent, buy electricity, pay staff salaries and many other daily running costs that the two homes incur.
We understand that there is a general caution to provide monetary donations because there is no guarantee on how the money will be spent.
This, however, is where Isithembiso is different.
All our financials are submitted to LEAD Financial Accountants, so the monetary donations are transparently accounted for.
