Your donation restores dignity, one family at a time.
Every gift — big or small — goes directly toward safe housing, quality education, food security, and empowerment for South African families who need it most.
Because dignity shouldn’t depend on where you start.
South Africa’s housing backlog runs into the millions, and behind every statistic is a family waiting for something reliable. Here’s why your donation matters.
Practical, Not Once-Off
TBF exists to move families away from once-off gestures and toward support they can actually rely on.
Every Rand Is Tracked
Our allocation model and regular reporting cycle mean you can see exactly where your donation goes.
Four Pillars, One Strategy
Your donation supports a coordinated approach across housing, education, food security and empowerment — not one disconnected cause.
Built for the Long Term
From transitional shelter today to Wentzel Estates™ tomorrow, your gift contributes to lasting infrastructure, not just short-term relief.
Community-Verified Impact
Local volunteers and partners help make sure support reaches the exact families it’s intended for.
A Living Legacy
Every donation carries forward the compassion and resilience Theoleen Anita Brown is remembered for.
What we do with every donation.
Every gift, regardless of size, is allocated strategically across our four pillars — balancing immediate relief with the long-term infrastructure that breaks cycles of poverty for good. The allocations below are reviewed with every financial cycle, and reported on in full via our Transparency & Accountability page — including how specific donations were used, on request.
Housing
Funds transitional shelter today, and contributes toward Wentzel Estates™ — our flagship long-term housing development.
Education
Funds bursaries, mentorship, and school support so a family’s circumstances never limit a child’s future.
Food Security
Funds emergency food drives today, and permanent, dignified community kitchens for the long term.
Empowerment
Funds skills training and micro-business support that builds independence, not dependency.

Thank you for considering a donation.
Whatever you’re able to give, thank you. Every donation — no matter the size — moves us closer to a South Africa where every family has access to safe housing, quality education, food security, and the chance to thrive.
On behalf of every family we serve, and in memory of the woman who inspired this work, thank you for being part of this story.
