Emergency & basic needs
Food parcels and a safe place to sleep for somebody who arrived at the office with nothing.

Your support can change a life
Help NWHR provide refugees and asylum seekers with access to essential services, education, documentation support, skills development and opportunities for a better future.
What your gift supports
Six kinds of work, one office
An undirected gift is the most useful of all — it covers what no funder will pay for, like a taxi fare to Home Affairs. You can also choose where yours goes.
Documentation & advocacy
Permit applications and renewals, transport to Home Affairs, and referral to legal partners.
Education & skills
School placements, uniforms and stationery, and short courses that lead to work.
Women, youth & girls
Support groups, safety work, and holiday programmes for young people out of school.
Social cohesion
Bringing refugee and South African neighbours into the same rooms and the same programmes.
Entrepreneurship & livelihoods
Tools, start-up stock and mentoring for somebody building a small business.
Make a donation
Small regular gifts are worth more to this office than occasional large ones.
Nobody approves their own spending
The person who creates a payment can never be the one who approves it, and amounts above an approver’s ceiling escalate to the Executive Director.
Posted transactions cannot be edited
A correction is a reversal that writes its own matching entry. Nothing in the ledger can be quietly changed after the fact.
EFT, or something other than money
Food, uniforms, stationery and time are all useful, and the office can tell you what is short this month.
