SAYes Mentoring - Giving Tuesday 2025

Summary

Many young people growing up in care or facing disadvantage in South Africa and the UK lack consistent support as they transition into adulthood. Your recurring monthly donation helps match them with trained mentors for weekly sessions over 7-9 months-building life skills, confidence, and lasting relationships. Each match costs around 2,000 per year, and monthly gifts are one of the most powerful ways to sustain this impact. Make it Monthly, Make it Matter

Challenge

Many young people growing up in care or facing disadvantage in South Africa and the UK lack consistent support as they transition into adulthood. Your recurring monthly donation helps match them with trained mentors for weekly sessions over 7-9 months-building life skills, confidence, and lasting relationships. Each match costs around 2,000 per year, and monthly gifts are one of the most powerful ways to sustain this impact.

Solution

This Giving Tuesday, your support can help us raise $10,000 to sustain SAYes Mentoring. These funds will provide mentor training, support our teams who guide young people, and cover operational costs to keep our programmes running. Every monthly gift helps ensure consistent, life-changing mentorship for underserved youth in South Africa and the UK.

Long-Term Impact

By supporting consistent, long-term mentorship, this project builds resilient young people who can navigate education, work, and life with confidence. These empowered individuals create lasting positive change in their communities, breaking cycles of disadvantage and fostering sustainable social impact across South Africa and the UK.
