What does R200 buy?

A dinner out? A third of a tank of fuel? Maybe movie tickets and popcorn for two?

Sometimes it feels like R200 (about â‚¬15 / $17) doesn't go very far at all, but at Yenzani Children's Home, a donation of R200 could pay for:

20 loaves of bread per week
3 cases milk
2 flu injections
Taxi fare for 2 children to get to and from school for 1 week
2 weeks' chronic medication for 1 of 4 children (medication not funded by government clinics)
1 x winter school jersey

Please consider committing to a monthly donation to Yenzani of R200 (or more if you like!). You might have to give up the occasional takeaway meal, bottle of wine or other luxuries, but the difference that your R200 can make to our children is immense. And being able to rely on that money every month is a great help to us as we plan our budget!

If we can get 100 people to commit to contributing R200 every month, that's R20 000 we can rely on, which covers our average monthly food, transport and medical costs.

Your R200 can make a difference.

PS: If you donate before 25 June, you also stand to win one of two induction cooker stove plates!

Drink coffee in June to support Yenzani!

Yenzani is one of the three charities for June at Vintage Coffee (69 Freight Road, Centurion)! Buy a cup of coffee and vote for us, and we could win the coffee shop's profits for the month of June!
