Welcome to the Ben & Terry Foundation

Our aim is to make a difference in the communities in which we live. We can never be a successful nation if the large majority of our population still lives in poverty.

About Us

The Ben & Terry Foundation is a South Africa based NPO aimed at positively impacting people’s lives. Our aim is to make a difference in the communities in which we live. We can never be a successful nation if the large majority of our population still lives in poverty. According to UN Human Development Report states that, nearly 4 million South Africans are in a state of multidimensional poverty (that is, poor health, malnutrition, a lack of clean water, inadequate access to health care services and poor, if any, housing conditions). The same report goes on to indicate there are a number of South African citizens living below the international poverty line. The report notes that 18.9% of the population, about 11 million South Africans live on less than R28 ($1.90) a day, which is around R800 ($55) per month.

This comes with a myriad of challenges that our Foundation tackles one household, sometimes even one person at a time.
