This changes everything.

Since 2004, BEFSA has been helping South Africans lift themselves, their families and their communities out of extreme poverty through education, nutrition and micro loans.

Thirty years on since the end of the apartheid and South Africa is still grappling with extreme inequality and poverty.

Millions still lack access to basic necessities that are key to unlocking a better life. But with your help, that can change.
