Mensch network organisations & individuals Coronavirus response

Mensch Network members Souper Troopers have raised over R120,000 and collaborated with more than 40 organisations to deliver food to the homeless and vulnerable township communities. Mensch Network members Cadena South Africa volunteers have been making and distributing non-surgical masks to densely populated high risk communities in Gauteng. Mensch and Ikhayalami have raised over R89,000 in donations to build 12 new shacks via Project Bayit.

Jewish South African Change-makers leapt into action ramping up their usual activities, pivoting to focus their efforts, and creating new collaborations to best respond to the urgent needs highlighted by the virus outbreak.

Below are just a few organisations, projects and people Mensch is proud to work with, support and promote during this unprecedented time. There are sure to be many others we have not mentioned here – Kol ha’kavod to you all!
