Angels are real, and they’re all over South Africa. Thanks to those among us who deserve wings, The Angel Network surpassed its goal to raise R 3 million, which will support a plethora of causes!

 

South Africa (07 May 2025) — In breaking good news for causes present and future across South Africa, the Angel Network has secured a fortune of over R3 million because angels are real, and this fundraiser is the proof.

In celebrating 10 years of the Angel Network and its Angel Vision, the non-profit organisation challenged itself to a mammoth fundraiser from 4-5 May.

Over 500 donors came to the party to raise an astonishing amount of R 3,037,928, and we can’t think of a better birthday gift for the Angel Network, which has spent the last decade leaving people better than they found them.

Who Are the Angel Network?

An incredible network of leaders, change-makers, active citizens, mothers, aunts, friends and helpers, the organisation founded by Glynne Wolman exists on a simple promise: to help wherever help is needed.

Thanks to the angels, people in destitute situations have received help in mere hours, young learners have been afforded shots at education they might otherwise never have had, future legal eagles have been supported and life-saving surgeries for little ones have been made possible.

With every new story tied to the network and ever-growing network, the organisation has reaffirmed that angels are real, and that they’re not as hard to find as some might suspect.

The funds raised as part of the ‘Angel Vision’ mission are set to support numerous causes—from community gardens to education efforts and means to restore dignity.
