COMMON CHANGE

South Africans are very generous, but many of us feel ill-equipped to help those who are in need within arms' reach. We often feel like we don't have enough to help enough or don't know how to give well given every individual's circumstances. The close to 400 000 NGO's and NPO's in our country do amazing work, but also can't reach everyone or deal with the small nuances of giving well on a micro-level. Common Change wants to help resolve these issues by providing the financial backing of a shared fund, and the accountability and wisdom of a group of givers giving together... We believe that an understanding of personal circumstances, a commitment to longevity and proactive giving, and the wisdom of a group can be pivotal in helping to eliminate personal economic isolation and shows real humanity and care... We're passionate about collaborative giving and taking care of our communities together. We want to make it easy for anyone to pool money as a group and give to those in need..
