1. Become a supporter

We invite anyone and everyone to become members of Envirochild.

We have a small membership fee to help
raise funds for our projects and running costs.

  • R60 per year for individuals

  • R100 for a couple

  • R150 for a family

  • R500 - R10000+  for a Business

This gives you free entry to all events we hold and your name listed on this page as a financial supporter of this movement.

Please email Danielle  to join.
 

2. Make a donation

We know how busy people's lives can get and often we wish we had more time to get involved in making the world a better place but we barely have enough for our own. If you believe in what we're doing please consider making a donation (once off or monthly). It will be put to good use and all funds are audited. 

Contact Helen if you'd like to make a single donation, or use this
debit order form if you can contribute anything from R10 to R1000 per month. This will enable us to continue this work in progress.

Envirochild is registered non profit volunteer organisation.
Financial annual reports are available on request.

 

2. Get on the committee

If you would like to help this initiative move forward and have energy and ideas rather than money to contribute, please consider becoming a member of the envirochild committee.

 

We need people to:

  • come up with new projects

  • do research

  • write articles

  • organise events

  • do publicity

  • talk to people

  • design flyers and posters

  • take photographs

  • show films, make films

  • fund raise

  • teach skills

  • tell stories

  • be creative

  • be technical

  • ask questions

  • get to know people

  • write letters

  • spread the green word

– in fact anything that will help the transition take off !

Get in touch with  Danielle and let us know how you'd like to help
 

BENEFITS OF SUPPORTING ENVIROCHILD

  1. As Envirochild seeks to address social and environmental injustice (through awareness, civic involvement and job creation by its projects and members), this should re-assure property owners and businesses that we can avoid a situation of social and political meltdown in Hout Bay (food riots etc).
     

  2. Envirochild seeks to uplift and empower. It strives to bring the people of HB together in neighbourliness through events and open forums.
     

  3. Envirochild will show the community how to make changes at home, in the work place and in social and natural surroundings. (Skills transfer in areas of growing food, recycling, renewable energy, eco-friendly building, and to encourage the use of clean resources to lessen pollution). These changes will make families more self-reliant and healthy, will save money and contribute to a healthier planet.
     

  4. Envirochild could also do projects in core areas of Education, Sanitation (IY sewerage pollution of river and beach) and greening of public space.
