Funds staffing support for public clinics in townships facing high patient-to-doctor ratios relative to private healthcare access nationally.
Why this matters in South Africa
Two health systems run side by side in South Africa. A minority with medical-scheme cover use private hospitals and GPs, while most of the population depends on public clinics, even though a large share of doctors and specialists work in the private sector. Township clinics absorb the difference: queues that start before dawn, nurses doing work that elsewhere would be split among several professionals, and patients sent home when the day's capacity runs out.
These clinics carry some of the heaviest chronic-disease loads anywhere, including the world's largest HIV treatment program alongside rising diabetes and hypertension. When a post stays vacant or staff burn out, the cost shows up in missed medication refills, people dropping out of treatment and conditions caught late. Extra clinical and support staff shorten waits and keep people on long-term treatment, without asking the clinic to change how it works.
What your gift pays for
- Salaries for nurses and counselors placed in busy township clinics with unfilled posts
- HIV testing and counseling sessions that would otherwise wait for a staff member to be free
- Data capturers and clinic administrators who free nurses from paperwork to see more patients
- Refresher training for clinic staff on chronic-disease management and treatment adherence
Organization
Right to Care NPC · South Africa
Founded 2001 · Headquarters: Centurion
NPC that places and supports health workers in public-sector clinics.
How they work: Right to Care works inside the public system rather than beside it. Historically funded in large part through government and donor partnerships such as PEPFAR, it seconds nurses, counselors and other staff to Department of Health facilities, mentors existing clinicians, and supports clinic systems such as patient records and medicine supply. Its staff work within the clinic's own routines, so the added capacity strengthens services that remain government-run.
Track record: Works in partnership with government to strengthen public health care, including deploying nursing staff to support HIV testing where facilities face counsellor shortages.

Giving in South Africa
Inequality between townships and the rest of South Africa is the thread through its four causes. Formal unemployment stands at 33.6 percent, the highest of any G20 economy, and the funds respond with surplus food delivered to community kitchens serving informal settlements and daily meals for township children. On the health side, they support integrated treatment for people co-infected with TB and HIV and staffing for overstretched public clinics. Partners are South African organizations such as FoodForward SA and TB HIV Care.
4 causes are listed in South Africa, each with its own verified organization. $394,893 has been distributed to causes in South Africa since 2021.
