“There are numerous methods in which you can help/support/partner with YFC/KZN. Whether you are giving gifts in kind, financial donations, your time and skills, prayers or bread to feed the children we serve – we are grateful for every contribution that we receive.
A heartfelt THANK YOU to all your donors and supporters - we know that God will bless you abundantly for your cheerful giving.”

GIFTS IN KIND

Gifts of clothes, equipment, food, education materials, sporting goods, etc…are always welcomed. It is a very strong way of saying ‘I care’ and the young people we serve benefit greatly from this generosity. If you have any goods that you would like to pass onto YFC/KZN please deliver to our Pietermaritzburg or Durban offices.

DONATIONS

Monetary donations are vital to continuing the work we do amongst disadvantaged young people in the Kwa-Zulu Natal. Without the financial support of a great many people our work is limited and our impact minimal. If you can support us financially and would like to send a donation please click here for details. All donations can be made via cheque or direct bank deposit.

"A special thanks to De Baanbreker School in Holland for the donation for our Homeless Children Projects"

 

TIME

The gift of your time often speaks louder than words. Many of the young people we interact with express a deep thankfulness to those who commit themselves continually and consistently. It creates a very real sense of worth and value in a world that very seldom gives them that opportunity. YFC/KZN have established a number of volunteer programs that require a small amount of time and effort from the individual but that has a huge impact on the work we do.

If any of these ideas appeal to you, or you would like to help in another way, please click here for contact details

Programs such as :

  • The Youth Development Centre (YDC). This centre is an international volunteer program offering young people from outside South Africa the opportunity to work within YFC/KZN projects and experience living in South Africa for an extended period of time. Please click here to visit the YDC webpage.
  • A Sandwich roster has been designed both in the Pietermaritzburg and Durban area. This program asks people to provide two loaves of sandwiches on a monthly basis for us to use in our work with children on the streets and in our community drop-in centers.

    “To all those who faithfully feed the mouths of many kids we serve though their donation of bread- we thank our heavenly father for you!”
  • Our Prayer and Praise calendar exists for those wanting to support us through prayer. Each month a new prayer calendar is distributed outlining our prayer needs as well as the many celebrations. Please contact us if you are interested in receiving this via email and/or mail. Alternatively it is also available online, please click here.

"A special thanks to Zibuyile Mthiyane for the time and input shared in Marketing and PR"

Community of poverty is known to exist, yet unfamiliar to many of us, we turn a blind eye.
I reached out my hand to them, not to mend the spoilt, ungrateful distorted perception of one self, but rather to attempt to solve those whose hands did not remain outreached.
They are happy with what they have,
 as it is more than what they had.
