What Can You Give to Make a Difference?

We believe that everyone has something unique to offer. Whether it’s your skills, talents, or time, giving becomes a meaningful experience when you use what you love to uplift those in need.

Bring Your Talents: Be Part of a Life-Changing Volunteer Community
Our community of volunteers has transformed the lives of our children by sharing their skills and passion. From doctors, dentists, and website specialists to ballet teachers, gymnastic coaches, and photographers—our family of volunteers continues to grow. Some volunteer weekly, others for specific projects or when the need arises. Every contribution plays a crucial role in changing lives.

Want to get your school involved?

We have partnered with St. Marys, and the relationship has grown in to the most beautiful, mututally beneficial partnership.

We are St. Mary’s official “Grade 8 Charity”, with girls signing up to visit us twice/ term, and their annual fundraising efforts going towards a child sponsorship.
+ The St Mary’s Interact Group runs a homework club with our children on a weekly basis.

+ We have also performed at Marimba and choir concerts with St. Mary’s over the years; an amazing opportunity for our children to get on stage for a larger audience.

The possibilities really are endless!

The amazing Grade 8’s at @stmarysdsgkloof have partnered with Ingane Yami – making it the grades main outreach. The girls have undertaken fundraising for the village as well as regular visits to spend time with the kids, play and help them with their home work.

Dr. Andre Postma, a GP based in Hillcrest close to the village, is one of many skilled individuals who help look after the health of our Ingane Yami children. Doctors play such an important role in the lives of healthy, growing children and we are so fortunate to have the best!

@mpopedancestudio have opened their arms to the Children of Ingane Yami – giving our girls a fun creative outlet with ballet lessons every week. We have seen them grow so much, doing exams as well as dancing in the studios annual show.
