Leave a gift in your will

WRITE A CHILD'S SMILE INTO YOUR WILL

Through a gift in your will — a legacy — you can give children across South Africa hope, opportunity, and a future filled with possibility.

By choosing to leave a legacy, you join a distinguished circle of visionaries whose generosity extends far beyond their lifetime. This is not only a solemn act, but one of the most inspiring gifts you can share with your loved ones and with generations to come.

Your legacy has the power to transform lives, breaking cycles of disadvantage and creating lasting change for children who need it most.

Being part of Save the Children means joining the movement of millions of people in South Africa and around the world who believe that every child has the right to grow and reach their full potential. In the words of our founder Eglantyne Jebb "The future of the world is in childhood".
 

The Greatest Gift You Can Give

A legacy is the most significant gift of all, it gives you the power to change the future for children by:

1. Saving lives: Helping create a South Africa where no child dies from preventable diseases.

2. Opening doors to education: Providing quality learning opportunities in marginalised communities, breaking cycles of poverty and unlocking brighter futures.

3. Ensuring protection and security: Giving children safe spaces, healthy habits, balanced meals, and the chance to grow while their families work.

4. Delivering hope in emergencies: Supporting humanitarian assistance so children survive and recover from natural disasters or conflict.
    

How to leave a gift of life and hope in your will:

1. Consult your notary about your intention to include Save the Children South Africa in your will. They will guide you on how to integrate it.

2. Use this suggested wording to ensure your legacy is clear: “I give as a legacy to Save the Children South Africa, [insert percentage of inheritance, sum of money, or description of the asset], so that the organisation fulfills its mission in favour of children in South African.”

3. Inform Save the Children South Africa of your legacy so we can thank you, keep you updated on the impact of your generosity, and welcome you into our Legacy Group.

4. Include our legal registration details: Save the Children South Africa CIPC Registration No: 2012/019616/08 NPO No: 104-961-NPO PBO No: 930 040 924

Your legacy is their future.
