International Donors
Many South African Jews who have emigrated retain strong ties with the Chev and offer valuable support to local Jewish welfare here in their country of origin. Though far away they remain close. Their currencies stretch further in SA and we are extremely grateful for the much-needed assistance we receive from warm and caring ex-pats. There are several channels through which donations can be facilitated.

USA
ChaiSouthAfrica is a successful fundraising initiative founded in 2000 by a few remarkable ex-South Africans living in San Diego, California. They have since raised millions of Rands from donors throughout the USA and Canada. This effort supports Jewish Residential Homes in Southern Africa for the aged, intellectually and physically disabled, mentally ill, and children in need. Many donors feel a deep sense of gratitude to the country that provided them with so much opportunity and are pleased to support those who remain behind. ChaiSouthAfrica provides constant and generous support honoring the Chev’s work in caring for our people in Sandringham Gardens, Arcadia, Selwyn Segal and Sandringham Lodge. ChaiSouthAfrica is a fund of the Jewish Community Foundation of San Diego (JCF), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, recognized by the IRS as a public charity. Contributions to ChaiSouthAfrica are tax-deductible to the full extent provided by law.

UK
EURO CHAI SOUTH AFRICA is a London-based charity that raises funds for a variety of South African Jewish charities that face an ageing population and a diminished pool of resources to maintain the very necessary support they provide. The changing economic and social structure of South African society has left in its wake an increasing number of Jewish families who are dependent on welfare. The needs of these charities grow continuously. Sustaining South African charitable causes has become more difficult for the local community over time and the expatriate community can make a real difference.
Canada
CAFSACK (Canadian Friends of SA Chevrah Kadisha) is committed to raising money for South African charities supported by the South African Chevrah Kadisha. The shrinking of the South African Jewish Community has left many institutions in a precarious situation including the Chev which provides services to many in need within the Jewish community. CAFSACK was founded by ex-South African Jews living in Canada to provide financial aid for their brethren in South Africa.
