Avuxeni, Minjhani? Ni pfukile, minjani!
I hope you are well and feeling great about everything we are achieving together. I reach out often because I want you to know just how deeply important you are to KTD196. Your support is essential to our daily work, and its impact—both short and long-term—is immeasurable. Simply put, none of this would be possible without you.
The Changing Landscape
The international fundraising landscape has shifted dramatically overnight. With USAID funding recently withdrawn from numerous nations and large organizations, the competition for survival has intensified. Massive NGOs are now scrambling for the same local funding sources that smaller organizations like KTD196 have traditionally relied upon.
As a result, South African trusts and foundations are completely overwhelmed. Many are undergoing radical transformations just to survive, and tragically, many smaller organizations have already closed their doors.
Why Your Support Matters Right Now
This turmoil is why your loyalty is our lifeline. You aren't just helping the communities we serve; you are ensuring our very survival.
To help us navigate this, we have a massive opportunity coming up:
GlobalGiving BONUS DAY
When: July 15, 2026, at 10:00 AM EDT to July 16, 2026, at 10:00 AM EDT
The Match: GlobalGiving will match eligible donations between $100 USD and $1,500 USD out of a total matching pool of $150,000 USD.
How You Can Help
Please mark your calendar! If you have been considering a one-off donation, or if you want to see your dollars stretch twice as far to create lasting generational change, please choose KTD196 on this Bonus Day.
I will send out a reminder email with direct links as the date gets closer.
Thank you for standing by us. Together, we truly are changing the world—one child, one family, and one community at a time.
Blessings,
Louise
