Enough is well and truly, enough now! South African organisations are taking a stand against gender-based violence and child abuse; this is how we support them.

South Africa (15 January 2024) – South Africans are tired of harrowing headlines detailing gender-based violence statistics or the latest heartbreaking act of abuse against a woman. This year, let’s all take a stand alongside the organisations fighting for change and help make a difference. These are all the causes to support in 2024.

The Good Things Guy team has been working on these charity lists since the start of the pandemic in 2020. They were created as tools to help people find help or offer it to causes close to their hearts. Over the years, the demand for these lists has grown and today, we are excited to share our lists for 2024.

This list features all the organisations protecting women and children, combatting gender-based violence and supporting victims of abuse and human trafficking.

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!
