💚 Small change. Big impact.
This Monday, choose kindness with a Mi-change voucher. Together with U-Turn Homeless Ministries and MES, we can help restore dignity, hope, and a fresh start — one voucher at a time. 🧡

Mi-change vouchers redeemed at these Safe Space locations can help vulnerable individuals access warm meals, clean clothing, showers, support services, and most importantly, a safe and warm place to sleep during this difficult weather period.

Every voucher purchased is more than just small change, it’s comfort, dignity, hope, and care for someone who truly needs it.

Yesterday, the Mi-change team, representing U-turn, had the privilege of visiting Abbots College Rondebosch to engage with learners on the importance of making positive life choices.

We are incredibly grateful to the students for their generous clothing donations, which will directly support individuals on their journey of recovery and reintegration through U-turn.

Our session focused on raising awareness around the dangers of substance abuse and the impact of the choices we make. Dylon Jordaan from Mi-change shared his story, encouraging learners to think carefully about their decisions and the paths they choose.

A special thank you to SAPS Rondebosch for joining us and partnering in guiding and supporting the youth toward safer, healthier futures.

Together, we continue to make a difference—one life, one choice at a time. 💙

The prize? An awesome M3 LEGO car! 🏁

It was an incredible day of community, generosity, and impact. A big thank you to BMW and everyone who took part, helping turn small change into real change 💙

🌍 Small Change, Big Impact!

On Thursday, 5 March, Mi-change successfully hosted the Small Change Big Impact awareness event at Rosebank Union Church, Sandton.

Over 60 people attended from different churches, organizations and people from the community, helping us spread awareness about how small acts of kindness can create real change in the lives of people experiencing homelessness.

Through the Mi-change voucher programme, powered by U-Turn Homeless Ministries and MES, we continue to provide a safe and effective way for the public to give, while connecting people on the street to real pathways of change.

Thank you to everyone who attended and partnered with us to make this event a success. Together we are making a difference, one voucher at a time.
