Home from Home (HfH), a non-profit organisation, has provided cluster foster care to orphaned, abused, neglected and abandoned children in the Western Cape province of South Africa since 2005. We have expanded over the years and now run 36 foster homes across 16 communities. This translates into nearly 200 children receiving specialised support and supervision. Our model of care is based on providing the foundation of a loving family home for these children. Feeling that they belong to a real family, albeit non-biological, is at the heart of the effectiveness of the Home from Home model.

In 2024 we will be celebrating 10 YEARS of proudly CYCLE OF LIFE Rhino Conservation.
Fundraising efforts over this period have resulted in an ongoing rhino dehorning project over the past years in several areas in South Africa. Surveillance equipment, number plate recognition cameras and solar powered security gates have been installed, as well as provision of accommodation facilities, uniforms and equipment for anti-poaching units. Contributions have been made to provide orphaned animals with food, covering medical costs and most recently a boma facility. A large animal trailer provides transport for injured or sick animals. Community support is offered by way of stationery and school bag donations, and a water project supplying a borehole, pump and pipes, ensures running water to the community.

Waves for Change began in 2009 as a small, informal weekend surf club for a handful of children from Masiphumelele Township in Cape Town and registered as an NPO and public benefit organisation in 2011.

Common Good was founded in 2005 by Common Ground Church, and is an independent and registered non-profit. Based in Cape Town, we impact thousands of lives across South Africa each day and are passionate about being part of a shared better future by seeing the cycles of intergenerational poverty broken. We focus on the areas of Early Life, specifically the First Thousand Days, Education, and Employment as intervention at these stages has a significant impact on changing someone’s future trajectory in life. We create research-based, replicable, innovative interventions that give people a hand-up, not a handout. Instead of working at the symptoms of poverty, we swim upstream and tackle these injustices closer to their source and by partnering with other organisations we’re able to do this at scale.

Border Collie Rescue (BCR) – looking after the needs of Border Collies abandoned, abused, stray or surrendered. Over 400 Border Collies are rehomed by BCR in South Africa every year. Because of their high level of intelligence and regular appearance in films and TV ads, there has been a drastic increase in the number of BC’s bred over the last 10-15 years. And BCR needs YOUR help to assist us in educating, rehabilitating, rehoming and sterilising our rescue dogs. We have rehomed over 9000 rescue dogs since we started in 1997. Challenging economic times makes it very hard to do what we do every day and we really need a helping hand to help us do what we love to do, rescue & rehabilitate this amazing breed.
