USA4RSA means what?
A non-profit office has recently been established in Florida (USA) to support our mental health facilities in South Africa (RSA). Hence our name, USA4RSA!
What do we do?
Group homes for the mentally ill are an integral source of support and stability. Our dedicated healthcare personnel have provided exceptional care across our adult group homes, children's facilities, frail-care centers, and clinics in Cape Town, South Africa, since inception in 1991.
At these facilities, we employ over 120 staff and provide over 1200 meals daily. There are currently over 300 long term patients being housed, cared for, and loved.
Unfortunately, due to the severity of their mental and physical disabilities, such as Schizophrenia, Bipolar Mood Disorder, Severe Epilepsy, Brain Injuries, and Down Syndrome, these adults and children cannot integrate into society.
Given the abovementioned stats and the massive task at hand, we have no doubt that you will see the importance and the impact of our work.
How can I help?
Due to the lack of financial support from the government and the growing need for funding at our facilities in South Africa, it was necessary to open a foreign office in the USA to seek support.
CEO Roy Harris, who founded the South African non-profits more than 30 years ago, is the same person spearheading the new foundation, USA4RSA, in Florida, a fully IRS registered 501(c)(3) fundraising non-profit foundation, offering tax-deductible donations.
We need donors to support the establishment of our USA4RSA office in Tampa Florida, so that we can focus on raising funds towards the future long-term financial sustainability of our South African non-profits.
How will my donation benefit me?
There are obvious benefits that are external to the act of giving, like the wonderful difference made to another human’s life whether it be with our time or our resources.
But have you ever thought about what it is that makes you feel good when you give? Feelings of being connected, having purpose, and putting your life in perspective play a huge role in your own happiness.
We would be most grateful if you would consider helping us to fight for those who cannot fight for themselves.
With thanks,
