Food Vouchers - Emergency Relief for those going hungry right now

Do you know of a family that is in dire need of food? Help them apply for assistance.

Siyabonga Africa is providing food vouchers to help vulnerable families affected by job losses and lockdown regulations during the Covid-19 pandemic. We focus on women in distress, the elderly, child-headed families, zero income households and people with disabilities.

Our new application link is ready - thank you for your patience while the system was upgraded. If you would like to apply for a service from Siyabonga Africa, please click here or WhatsApp Siyabonga Africa on 072 8488 315. Our office will respond with information, terms and conditions as soon we can.

There are a limited number of vouchers available and we are doing our best to manage the demand, so the first complete applications which fall within the focus groups, will receive a food voucher that they can use immediately to purchase much needed food.

How to help

Please support Siyabonga Africa, as we strive to provide emergency assistance to those in need during the continuing Covid-19 crisis.

DONATE FOOD VOUCHERS

Hundreds of desperate, starving people turn to us every day with a humble request for food. Siyabonga Africa was among the first to issue Food Vouchers delivered by SMS straight into the hands of those in need! It's the fastest, safest and most efficient way of getting food to where it's needed most.

Please consider donating R500 for a family food voucher – to help keep hunger at bay for a month. Smaller vouchers of R250 and R100 are also greatly appreciated.

What We Do

Siyabonga Africa creates opportunities for unemployed, poverty stricken and destitute people to discover solutions to their situation, and provides seed funding to encourage entreprenuership.

Community Care

We provide access to information and resources, as well as emergency relief to ensure vulnerable people's basic needs are met. Emergency relief includes food parcels, ablution facilities for the homeless, blankets, clothing, toiletries and basic household items.

Skills Training

We help poor and disadvantaged people gain marketable skills to enable them to earn an income and provide for themselves and their families. Among the courses offered are life skills, welding, vegetable gardening, fashion design, bread baking and computer literacy.

Small Business Development

By far the biggest socio-economic challenge in South Africa is the high rate of unemployment. We work with small and micro-business owners to help them to sustain and grow their businesses, by providing training and a vital link between them and funding partners.
