Give Mi-change Vouchers
Homeless in Cape Town
Mi-change vouchers are redeemed across the city at U-turn or MES Homeless Service Centers. Your voucher provides essential basic needs like a meal, shower, clothing or a bed in a safe space, where available. Individuals also get access to professonal support and rehabilitation services for a pathway out of homelessness.
Vouchers reduce cash on the streets and help to break the cycle of chronic homelessness.
‘Why ?
A 2019 study found it costs significantly more for someone to stay on the streets than to help them leave the streets. Read the study >
When you give a voucher, you reduce cash on the streets and access to drugs. Most importantly, you provide essential basic needs along with support, rehabilitation and ultimately work opportunities.
A voucher equals hope for a future.
Where?
Individuals in need can redeem their vouchers at U-turn and MES Homeless Service Centre’s in Claremont, Muizenberg, Strand, Parow, Bellville, Durbanville and CBD.
Cost?
A pack contains 4 vouchers and costs R50. You can purchase online or pop into your nearest shop that stocks Mi-change vouchers.
