Development, not dependency.
Development, not dependency.
Next-Step Foundation
The purpose of the Foundation is to get homeless people off the street. We do so by focusing on individual development, rather than on sustaining cycles of dependency. We work with churches and faith-based organisations as implementing partners.
We promote a model to help the homeless that is unique, manageable, and affordable. Click here to learn more and enquire about available funding.
Our Vision
Our vision is rooted in biblical principles, as well as modern therapeutic practices. We work together with government, churches and other charities to jointly alleviate homelessness. Our aim is to foster independence of homeless individuals.
Our Approach
While many charities focus on recurring relief, such as providing food, clothing and shelter, we contribute to these efforts with our Next-Step approach. We promote targeted, once-off interventions for homeless individuals to overcome key barriers in their lives, whether it’s securing an ID, reconnecting with family, or finding a job placement. In this we avoid getting deeply involved with any one individual.
How we are Different
We identify key barriers for homeless individuals that prevents them from transitioning towards recovery. While traditional ways of helping the homeless tend to encourage dependency, we promote a method that achieves motivation and self-reliance.
The Power of Networking
We believe in the power of unity guided by God’s purpose and that collaboration holds the key to meaningful change. The challenges before us are deeply connected, and so too must be our responses. We invite government officials, business leaders, and community advocates to stand with us. By working together, we can extend our reach and strengthen our impact. Together, we can shape a South Africa defined not by its history, but by its promise.
