Beyond Feel-Good Giving: How to Make Mandela Month Truly Transformative | Oasis Haven

🌟 This Mandela Month, The Social Impact Show challenges listeners to rethink charity. Sam Marshall sits down with Tundani & Chuma from Oasis Haven—a Johannesburg safe house raising orphaned kids for 20+ years—to reveal why sweets and paint jobs aren’t enough.

🔍 Hard Truths You’ll Hear:

"Feel-good giving fails kids." Why R200/month beats one-off toy donations.

R20,000/month per child: The real cost of therapy, schooling, and care (spoiler: City Power bills hit R50k!).

Donor fatigue fixes: How to give sustainably vs. "spreading impact thin."

Transparency pledge: Oasis Haven opens its books—literally.

💡 Why Listen?

"Education is the only gift that lasts when these kids age out of the system." — Chuma

"That ‘revamped kitchen’? Useless when the NPO closes months later." — Sam
