The SOS Africa Children’s Charity (UK: 1188705 / SA: 183-821) invests 100% of donations in the education and care of South African children with regular feedback to sponsors. Unlike larger African charities, since 2003 SOS Africa has provided disadvantaged children, from grades 1 to 12, with personal education programmes or learning support schemes tailored specifically to their needs. This holistic approach to education enables children to break the cycle of poverty; our charity graduates are at university or in full-time employment.
If you decide to sponsor a child in Africa or donate to African charities, SOS Africa Children’s Charity provides sponsors and donors with regular updates maintaining strong lines of communication between child and supporter. Our UK grassroots African education charity believes in the importance of transparency and reducing expenses. If you wish to donate or raise funds for children in Africa, we will provide you with feedback demonstrating the long-term impact made by your donation to South African children in need.

“At SOS Africa, the ‘reward’ in terms of information back, being updated and kept in the loop is very personal and this in itself is a high motivation.”
Anna & Gordon (Sponsors since 2019)
“SOS Africa provides a very personal sponsorship experience and it is a pleasure to receive regular pictures and reports on our sponsored child’s progress.”
