Help Mustard Seed Tree raise R250,000 for Employment for Resident Counsellors

Here's a little more info about this opportunity...

Give Hope Through Jobs Behind every counselling session, there is a brave soul reaching out. Sometimes it’s a teenager who feels invisible. Sometimes it’s a mother overwhelmed by trauma. Sometimes it’s a man who never thought he’d need help, but now finds himself drowning in silence. And on the other side of the screen? A student volunteer. Our student counsellors are incredible. They sacrifice study time, part-time jobs, and even their own rest to show up for people who are hurting. They give because they care. They give because they believe that every story deserves to be heard. But here’s the truth: they cannot carry the weight forever. Students, no matter how dedicated, can only do so much while balancing exams, assignments, and their own lives. And those seeking help deserve more than what overstretched volunteers can offer. That’s why we’ve set a bold new goal: R250,000 to employ our first group of professional counsellors. Here’s the impact of your donation: • Relief for students: Our student volunteers will no longer have to carry the entire load. Trained, qualified counsellors will step in to provide steady, expert care. • Consistency for clients: People who seek counselling will know that their sessions are with someone fully dedicated, focused, and present — not someone rushing between studying, shifts, and volunteering. • Dignity for counsellors: For many qualified counsellors, paid work in their field is rare. Your donation helps create meaningful, stable employment where their skills are used to heal and restore lives. This is how we break the cycle. By turning passion into profession. By taking a team of volunteers and transforming it into a sustainable workforce of hope-givers. And here’s the part that makes your gift even more powerful: your donation gives back to you. Mustard Seed Tree is a registered Public Benefit Organisation. That means every rand you donate qualifies for a Section 18A tax-deductible certificate. Come tax season, you can claim your contribution back from SARS. That means your generosity doesn’t just change lives it also lightens your own financial load. Think about it: • A donation today funds a counsellor tomorrow. • A counsellor tomorrow means a family in crisis finds hope. • And when hope spreads, entire communities start to heal. When you give to this campaign, you’re not just helping one person. You’re building a foundation that will ripple outward — one counsellor, one session, one healed life at a time. Will you help us raise R250,000 to employ counsellors and give hope that lasts?
