Donors For Life has launched a monthly giving programme to provide South African charities with reliable, long-term funding.
The initiative, created by BackaBuddy and Paysoft Impact, encourages people to make recurring donations instead of only giving during emergencies.
The programme also helps charities build lasting relationships with donors and improve their fundraising efforts.
The goal is to give non-profit organisations more stable funding so they can continue supporting communities throughout the year.

The Jozi My Jozi Walk will take place in Johannesburg on 26 July, with 5km, 8km and 15km routes starting and ending at Ellis Park Stadium.
Organisers have added live performances, community art displays on Nelson Mandela Bridge and a post-walk concert to celebrate local talent.
Participants will vote for a People's Choice Award winner and can buy Mi-Change vouchers that provide meals, shelter and support for people experiencing homelessness.
The routes are accessible for wheelchairs and prams, encouraging broad community participation.

A newly built David Livingstone Secondary School has opened in the Eastern Cape, offering learners vocational subjects alongside the traditional academic curriculum.
The school supports the province's Three-Stream Education Model by teaching practical skills, including beauty therapy.
The programme prepares learners for further education and future employment.
