Years in Service
Serving humanity regardless of colour or creed
Humanity South Africa was established in 2019 in KwaZulu-Natal. Since its founding, over R20m of relief aid and assistance has benefitted people, regardless of colour, creed. Faith or affiliation.
The KwaZulu-Natal province is one of the poorest provinces in the South Africa.
Statistics reflect the extremely high unemployment rate in the Province, with many families battling to survive. The other Provinces with the highest headcount of adult poverty are Limpopo (67,5%), Eastern Cape (67,3%), KwaZulu-Natal (60,7%) and North West (59,6%). For these four Provinces, significantly more than half of their population were living in poverty (Stats SA – 2019).
KwaZulu-Natal is in dire need of social welfare and skills development programmes in order to stimulate the economy, for business growth and to increase job creation opportunities.
To undertake social welfare and humanitarian activities: These include, among others:
In order to achieve these goals, the following strategic interventions have been initiated:
Education in a number of schools is being supported through providing nutritious meals to learners, thereby improving their ability to attend schools, to be able to concentrate, and to learn and perform to the best of their abilities.
Disadvantaged families have been provided with grocery hampers to assist them to sustain themselves and their families during difficult times, such as during the devastating floods in KwaZulu-Natal in 2022, ETC.
The Foundation initiated a programme where women from the rural areas of the South Coast of KwaZulu-Natal are involved in the sewing of re-usable sanitary pads made from fabric off-cuts. This programme empowers the women in the rural areas, contributes to much needed job-creation and alleviates poverty in these areas.
The Foundation is providing healthcare education and awareness to schools through its Dignity 4 Her Project on an ongoing basis. Both disposable and re-usable sanitary pads are distributed to poorer areas in the province, thereby assisting to ensure the dignity of the girl learners in these areas.
The most vulnerable and destitute communities receive humanitarian services from the Foundation, regardless of the situation or circumstances, and especially during a disaster. The Foundation was inundated with requests for assistance from families affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, due to unemployment and continues to do this. Through proper administration, the Foundation ensured that the maximum number of families could be assisted during this extremely difficult time and they were provided with food and/or health packs, which included sanitisers, soap and masks.
During the cold winter months, the Foundation provides blankets and warm clothing to the poor and desolated communities, especially in the rural areas. The Foundation also provides learners with winter uniforms such as jerseys and warm hoodies.
The Foundation is currently in the process of providing much-needed boreholes in areas where there is a dire need for water supply. As could be seen from previous similar projects, it is usually not only the recipient that benefits from the water supply, but also the community at large.
The Foundation is currently exploring expansion in their outreach programmes to also include food banks. Food banks ensure communities have consistent access to the food they need. Food banks are paramount in solving the types of logistical problems faced at the root of the global hunger challenge. Food gardens can improve food security for community members by increasing economic access to proper amounts of healthy food. Community gardens provide economic, health, educational, social and environmental benefits to participants and the community at large
