The campaign started in 2013 when a few of South Africa’s biggest and most accountable welfare organisations joined forces.
Marieta Kemp, Director Social Services from the SAVF said, “The large number of welfare organisations involved helps us to keep the cost structure low and this will ensure that the maximum of donations can be used by us to deliver our services on grass roots level.”
There are 12 national beneficiaries and they represent more than 1 000 local non-profit organisations; Epilepsy SA, Meals on WheelsChild Welfare SA, SOS Children’s Villages, CHOC (Childhood Cancer Foundation), Special Olympics SA, CANSA, Imisebeyelanga Services, VVA, NG Welsyn, Endurocad, SAVF and various local animal welfare organisations.
Tekkie Tax has raised more than R22-million so far and the impact on ground level is remarkable.
