Give Responsibly
Change for Change
You carry the power to change someone’s life in your pocket.
Instead of giving your small change which can fuel addiction and create dependency, give a Mi-change voucher which provides basic needs and a pathway out of homelessness.
How You Can Give Responsibly.
The kindest and most compassionate way to help a person in need is to give them a Mi-change voucher which provides access to essential basic needs and puts them in touch with professional support and rehabilitation services so they can begin rebuilding their lives.
Giving cash to someone on the streets fuels addiction and dependency and can lead to chronic homelessness.
Mi-change vouchers symbolize change, hope and a chance for a better life.
Your voucher
provides these basic needs:
Mi-change vouchers can be redeemed at any U-turn or MES Homeless Support Centre for these services where available.

About Mi-change vouchers
The Mi-change voucher initiative is powered by U-turn in partnership with MES. Both organisations have used vouchers successfully to provide people with a pathway out of homelessness.
Vouchers reduce street solicitation and cash on the streets, which often fuels addiction and dependency. It is the kindest way to put a person in touch with basic needs and professional support services.
Mi-change vouchers are available in Cape Town and Johannesburg and will soon be available in other areas of the country. If you would like to become a Voucher Reseller or Service Provider partner, please email info@michange.org
