Every Friday morning, before our doors even open, patients are
already waiting outside the CHAPS Free Primary Healthcare Clinic.
Some have travelled for hours. Others have borrowed money just to afford transport. Many have lived with pain or illness for weeks because seeking medical care simply wasn’t an option.
They arrive carrying more than an illness. They carry uncertainty about their future, concern for their children, and the hope that someone will help.
At CHAPS, we believe every person deserves access to quality healthcare with dignity, compassion, and respect—regardless of their financial circumstances. That belief is why our clinic exists.
Across South Africa, thousands of people face an impossible choice every day: Do I buy food for my family, pay for transport to work, or seek medical care? For many families, healthcare becomes the
sacrifice. No one should ever have to choose between their health and their survival.
The CHAPS Free Primary Healthcare Clinic was established to remove that barrier by providing free, quality primary healthcare to vulnerable individuals and families who would otherwise go without treatment. Every Friday, our clinic becomes a place where illness is treated, hope is restored, and lives are changed. But we cannot do it alone.
When you donate to CHAPS, you are not simply giving money. You are providing healthcare to someone who needs it most.
Please consider making a donation. Whether the amount is big or small, it all goes towards making a difference in the lives of our patients.
CHAPS can issue a Section 18A donation certificate for qualifying donations, providing donors with a potential tax benefit in accordance with applicable South African tax legislation.
This makes supporting CHAPS especially meaningful for companies and organisations looking to make a positive social impact while benefiting from an allowable tax deduction.
