The Child Support Grant is a lifeline for millions of South African families, helping to provide for children’s basic needs. But how far does it truly stretch? This video by DG Murray Trust explores this question, revealing the hard choices many caregivers face when trying to balance the costs of food, clothing, and education on the grant’s limited amount.
For many, the grant is not enough to cover these essentials, leaving gaps that put children’s development and well-being at risk. This reality is a stark reminder of the urgent need for collective action to address child poverty and ensure every child in South Africa has the chance to thrive.
Through the Hold My Hand campaign, we aim to amplify voices like these and work together with government, civil society, and the private sector to close the gaps. Explore how you can be part of the change—because when we hold hands, we lead South Africa’s children toward a brighter future.
