Donors

Every act of sharing helps to create a more whole and healthy society in South Africa. As a non-profit-organisation, registered as a Section 21 Company, Woza Moya relies on the generosity of donors to carry out its work.

The AIDS Foundation of South Africa (AFSA) continues to be Woza Moya's main donor to date, offering not only monetary support but also invaluable on-going capacity building for all the team members.

Woza Moya's partnership with Oxfam Australia continues to be a very special collaboration especially with regard to social media development, including human rights and gender issues.

Another smaller donor, the Hospice Palliative Care Association of South Africa (HPCA) has helped Woza Moya to professionalise our home-based care programme.

The Victor Daitz Foundation is providing much needed food parcels for homes housing orphaned and vulnerable children.

All Together Now International and South Coast Foundation in the USA continue to be on-going and greatly valued donor-partners of Woza Moya.
