Dear Project of the Month Club Member,
The economic and educational effects of apartheid still impact millions of South African youth. Only one in 20 black students in the country obtains a university degree.
Christel House International’s project, Educate A Poor South African Child, supports students with a holistic approach that starts with K-12 academic curriculum. The organization also offers character development programming designed to instill independence, integrity, social responsibility, and leadership qualities in students. Their students receive breakfast and lunch, and are provided with uniforms and resource materials like textbooks and other school supplies.
For five years after high school graduation, the Christel House College & Careers program provides financial, academic, and career-oriented assistance as students transition to college, apprenticeships, and work. Today, Christel House International serves more than 1,090 students in South Africa.
“To our GlobalGiving Club friends, we thank you for your support of children experiencing poverty in South Africa,” Barbara S. Bosch, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Development at Christel House International, shared. “100% of donations support programs and services for students.”
“Your gift is changing life outcomes,” Barbara added. To learn more about how Christel House is supporting students in South Africa, read their most recent report.
Thank you for your commitment to a better world!
With gratitude,
Victoria Vrana
GlobalGiving CEO

When a disaster strikes, recovery efforts led by people who live and work in affected communities are often overlooked and underfunded. GlobalGiving is changing this reality. Since 2004, we've been shifting decision-making power to crises-affected communities through trust-based grantmaking and support.
We make it easy, quick, and safe to support people on the ground who understand needs in their communities better than anyone else.
They were there long before the news cameras arrived, and they’ll be there long after the cameras leave. They know how to make their communities more resilient to future disasters, and they’re already hard at work. GlobalGiving puts donations and grants directly into their hands. Because the status quo—which gives the vast majority of funding to a few large organizations—doesn’t make sense.
