Relief for Helene

Helene Relief is a charity that provides financial, medical, and emotional support to people affected by apartheid. Founded in 1985, Helene Relief has provided over $40 million in aid to over 1 million people. The charity's work focuses on three key areas: education, healthcare, and economic empowerment.

Helene Relief’s education programs provide scholarships, textbooks, and uniforms to students from disadvantaged backgrounds; they also build schools and train teachers. The charity's healthcare programs provide access to clean water, sanitation, and medical care. Helene Relief's economic empowerment programs provide training, jobs, and start-up capital to people who are trying to start their own businesses.

The Impact of Apartheid

Apartheid was a system of racial segregation enforced in South Africa from 1948 to 1994. Apartheid created a separate and unequal society in which black people were denied basic rights, including the right to vote, the right to own property, and the right to a fair education.

Apartheid had a devastating impact on the lives of black people in South Africa. It caused widespread poverty, unemployment, and ill health. Apartheid also led to the deaths of thousands of people who were killed by the security forces or who died in political violence.

Helene Relief in Action

Helene Relief has been working to combat the effects of apartheid since 1985. The charity's work has made a real difference in the lives of many people. For example, Helene Relief's education programs have helped to increase the number of black students who attend school and who graduate from high school. The charity's healthcare programs have helped to reduce the incidence of disease and illness among black people. Helene Relief's economic empowerment programs have helped to create jobs and businesses for black people.

The Future of Helene Relief

Helene Relief is committed to continuing its work until apartheid is completely eradicated in South Africa. The charity believes that education, healthcare, and economic empowerment are essential for achieving a just and equal society.

Helene Relief is grateful for the support of its donors and volunteers. The charity's work would not be possible without their help.
