During an incredibly trying time for the country, South Africans rallied and raised R55 Million to help each other out, and the year isn’t even over yet!
South Africa (28 September 2021) – South Africans have had a really tough time since the pandemic started. Many lost jobs or loved ones, others lost their businesses or their homes. Almost everyone has needed a helping hand in one way or another, from financial support to emotional support and more.
To make things easier, those who could spare anything gave generously. This is clearer than ever before, with BackaBuddy sharing its latest stats.
On BackaBuddy, South Africa’s leading donations-based crowdfunding platform, over R55 million was raised this year with the generous support of over 62 000 donors, who have supported over 4000 individuals and beloved non-profit organisations.
Many people turned to the platform to raise money for themselves and others.
“Thank you South Africa for reminding us of all the kindness and love we as a society have to offer. Through adversity, we continue to find our strength and uplift those who need it the most” – says Catherine Du Plooy, BackaBuddy COO.
