Solidariteit Helpende Hand

Solidariteit Helpende Hand is in 1949 gestig as 'n antwoord op die Afrikaner-armoedekrisis van die tyd. Helpende Hand het meer as 30 000 ondersteuners wat per debietorder ’n maandelikse bydrae maak. Ons ontvang geen hulp van die staat nie en is afhanklik van die bydraes van gewone mense om ons projekte te befonds.

Ons visie is om oplossings vir die aanspreek van Afrikaner-armoede te vind. Ons doen dit deur middel van onderskeie projekte armoede te verlig, voorkom en te verbreek. Nagenoeg 80% van ons tyd en bronne word bestee aan die voorkoming van armoede terwyl die ander 20% tussen die verligting van armoede en die verbreking van die armoedekringloop verdeel word.

Solidariteit Helpende Hand focus on the alleviation, prevention and ending of poverty in the Afrikaner community. This is done through community based projects where people are assisted to gain back their self respect by enabling them through education and training of skills to take control of their lives.

We use various products/platforms that include schools, social structures/projects, bursary/loan schemes for further education, workskills training and placements.

These projects focus specifically on the different areas of need. One such project is a lunchbox project where up to 4500 toddlers receive a balanced meal daily. In some instances this is the only food they get with regards to their daiy nutritional needs. Other projects include a schoolbag filled with standard stationary that is provided to needy grade one's. To date an estimate of about 27000 schoolbags have been handed out. We also have a study loan/bursary scheme where needy students are assisted with the high cost of tertiary education.

All these projects have a common goal which include the alleviation, prevention and ending of poverty.
