🇿🇦 Every donation qualifies for a Section 18A tax certificate
As a registered Public Benefit Organisation, we can issue you a Section 18A certificate for your donation — meaning you can claim it back against your taxable income with SARS.
Our Featured Projects
Our two biggest projects, working together to keep young mums in school and bring support closer to home.
Baby Home Build
We're converting the old stables on our founders' property in Drummond into a safe, DSD-compliant Baby Home, so young mums can stay in school knowing their babies are safe and cared for. We're raising funds for the conversion, cots and equipment, and staffing.
Community Centre
We've secured the lease on our Community Centre in Esikhelekehleni, Ximba, and already use it for meet-ups each month. To open our doors three days a week, growing to six, we need essential building work and security in place, plus in-kind support such as furniture, computers and kitchen equipment.
Other Ways To Help
Nappies For 95+ Mums
Every month, more than 95 mums in our Young Mums & Babies programme need nappies for their babies. A recurring monthly gift keeps every one of them stocked.

A starter pack covers everything one child needs to walk through the school gate with pride: a uniform, shoes, a school bag and basic stationery.

Family Food Parcel
The cost depends on the size of the household. Each parcel includes essentials like maize meal, rice, flour, vegetables, cooking oil, potatoes, beans, bread, chicken stock, soap and washing powder, and can sustain a household for 2–3 weeks.

A regular gift lets us plan ahead and keep our programmes running. Set up a monthly standing order with your bank using our EFT details, use your name as the reference, and email us so we can say thank you and send your Section 18A certificate.
Fundraise For Us
Run, walk, cycle, bake, climb, even skydive: if there's a challenge you'd like to take on, you can raise funds for Opening Doors while you do it. The supporters pictured took on a skydive for us, and a runner recently got in touch to say they'll be running a marathon and fundraising on our behalf, and it's a brilliant example of how anyone can turn a personal goal into a gift for a young mum or a child.
Tell us what you have in mind and we'll cheer you on, share your story and show you where your money makes a difference.

Why Section 18A Matters
As a registered Public Benefit Organisation, Opening Doors NPO can issue Section 18A tax certificates for qualifying donations.
For companies: donations can be deducted from taxable income (up to 10%, per SARS rules), reducing your tax bill while directly funding our work.
For individuals: the same benefit applies to your personal tax return.
Teach young people a practical skill
We are inviting local businesses to host a Partner Day at our Community Centre, once a month or once a quarter, to teach young people a practical skill. Collaboration is key, and building partnerships will have a greater impact.
Electricians, plumbers, mechanics, builders, welders, hairdressers and more.
