“After nearly being beaten to death by my employer, I was not paid for 18 days I worked…but because of the funds that were donated I smile because I know kindness is still possible.” -Khabonina Mkhonza
“You’ve helped make a difference for me and my kids…” -Sboniso Ndhlovu
“I am a struggling woman ever since COVID...I am not working and I have been suffering a lot...you did help me...with this amount of money it looks like twenty thousand dollars to me…thank you!” -Veronica Simon
15 domestic workers and counting! Your generosity has provided hope and vital resources to domestic workers who have been positively impacted by your donations.
Rent, food, clothes, access to basic WiFi, school uniforms and supplies --have all been made possible.
Your contribution also prevents exposure to high-risk situations for women who must venture outside of their communities for survival.
Our work is not done yet. More people still need our help.
Every day, South Africa's domestic workers — estimated to be more than 1 million people — bear the brunt of emotional, physical, and economic violence so that they can protect themselves and their families. Their work has become even more dangerous during the global COVID-19 pandemic, which has worsened the disproportionate injustices and racial disparities experienced by our society’s most vulnerable populations.
What can we do?
Join us in sharing this fundraising opportunity with your networks! In partnership with the United Domestic Workers of South Africa, we are raising money to provide as many as 100 Resiliency Grants to support domestic workers in need.
What are Resiliency Grants?
Resiliency Grants are micro grants designed to help ensure recipients have access to basic human rights including food, water, shelter, and safety.
How are Resiliency Grants recipients selected?
The United Domestic Workers of South Africa has already identified and vetted potential recipients who have qualified for assistance. All donations will be transferred directly to their bank accounts or e-wallet.
