Make a difference

Many travellers, while visiting the Townships and seeing the need that exists all around, express the desire to make a contribution of some kind. In keeping with our policy of providing a “hand-up” rather than a “hand-out”, we ask you not to hand out money to the local residents, but rather to make a contribution to the Trust, which will help us to make the improvements required and ensure that your contribution
is put to lasting use in the community.

If you would like to make a contribution please deposit funds into the TCDT bank account and fax the deposit slip to (021) 5114768 with CRECHE FUND and your name clearly marked as a reference and an e-mail address if you have one, or contact us.
