After 10 years of U-turn vouchers, we are launching in partnership with MES, a universal voucher called Mi-change. This means you can help more people across our City.
Why vouchers
According to “The Cost of Homelessness in Cape Town” report, every year members of the housed public give over R280 million in cash to people begging on the streets.
While the public who provide cash are compassionate and well-intended, the cash fuels addiction, creates dependence and enables chronic homelessness, making it harder for people to leave the streets.
