Santander Community Challenge

By taking part in this challenge and building houses alongside the local community, you will provide vulnerable children in South Africa with a safe, decent space to live and help lift the spirits of the local community.  

And, by fundraising for Age UK and Barnardo’s, you can help older and younger people in the UK face the future with confidence, whatever challenges they face today.

About the South Africa Community Challenge

Thandanani has been meeting the needs of orphaned children in the area for a number of years. The community has been devastated by HIV and grandparents are taking in their grandchildren, to care for them after their parents have died. But their homes are inadequate, both from a health & safety and a size perspective. Thandanani have an ongoing commitment with the project because of the best practices employed and the overwhelming need of the community. The work undertaken by our volunteers will enable three families in desperate need to benefit from a safe environment to live, learn and grow. The project is mutually beneficial as volunteers will benefit from the team building experience while Thandanani will be empowered to meet the needs of more children through the ongoing support.
