Monthly Expenses
Our fixed monthly expenses total R14 560. Every rand helps us show up for our children — here's how that breaks down by category.
- School fees41%
- Transport28%
- Therapy16%
- Extra-curricular activities10%
- Miscellaneous5%
These are regular expenses only. We often have adhoc costs too - doctor's bills, medication, stationery, and essential clothing. For example, in March 2026 we spent an additional R2,480 on adhoc expenses.
Monthly Income
Our total monthly donations are R7 300 (as of March 2026), which means we dip into personal savings every month. We also receive occasional once-off donations, which are incredibly helpful.
Thank you to everyone who has supported us - whether through a monthly sponsorship or a once-off contribution; we're super grateful.

Our biggest goal is to increase regular monthly donations to cover core expenses - allowing us to operate sustainably and make a lasting impact. Every Rand you donate makes a difference.
