Organisations are doing everything to raise awareness for diseases and disabilities in South Africa; these are the groups to support in 2024.

 

South Africa (24 January 2024) – Diseases, disabilities and illness affect so many South Africans. Most have a group of dedicated supporters who fight to raise awareness and support people with illness. There are also major organisations advocating to collect blood and sign up organ donors and stem-cell donors. All of these healthcare organisations are making an impact on the South African healthcare system.

We have listed all the incredible groups we have worked with over the years on this helpful charity list.

If we have missed an organisation or charity, please email tyler@goodthingsguy.com, and we will add it soonest; kindly supply the relevant links as well as which province they work in, the NPO/NGO/NPC registration details and a brief description of what the organisation does.

Please note that this is a working list, so keep sending through your charities, and we will keep adding them! If you are looking for mental health organisations, we have a separate list here.
