BE PART OF THE CHANGE TO SEE LIVES RESTORED
AND COMMUNITIES TRANSFORMED
We are a group of ordinary individuals inspired by these words, and driven by a passion to uplift others and help them fulfil their potential.
Operating at grassroots level, we work amongst some of the most deprived communities in and around Cape Town in South Africa where 35% of households are led by a child under the age of 16.
Through a variety of impactful educational programmes and community initiatives, our aim is to build hope, offer help and a future for the young and old in the areas with the greatest need.
Our mission is to provide all those we encounter with the tools they need to develop skills, find employment, build confidence, and break free from the cycle of poverty, and to know fulness of life.
At NewDay United we strengthen the hands of local people in the most disadvantaged communities
Our approach respects the dignity of local communities and their desire to be empowered to serve themselves. As the proverb says: ‘Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.’
Everything we do builds the skills, hope and momentum for local communities to develop themselves.
For adults we run computer learning and job readiness courses, and a sewing enterprise, equipping individuals with skills and empowering them to find work. Our staff team themselves are examples of this approach with most being graduates from our programmes.
For local children and youth, we offer a safe haven after school, providing a nutritious meal each day, educational and emotional support, as well as holiday clubs, in a fun and nurturing environment.
We celebrate all those who complete our courses, gain qualifications, find jobs, enabling them to feed their families and share their skills with others, living a more fulfilled life.
Will you partner with us to expand our impact and enable us to continue to bring transformation to individuals and communities, one person at a time?

Our work is only possible because of the generosity of individuals, businesses, organisations, schools and churches around the world.
Our wonderful supporters enable us to provide education and training, food and safety to the most needy in the communities we serve.
We and our beneficiaries are hugely grateful for all you do to make this possible!
