The Helpers is Live… And it Might Be the Most Important Thing We’ve Ever Built

Loading player...
In this week’s episode of Good Things with Brent Lindeque, something truly special is launching… and it’s been years in the making.

Joining Brent in the studio is Good Things Guy editor Tyler Leigh Vivier as they officially launch The Helpers: South Africa’s first centralised, user-driven charity directory… and it’s live right now.

Born during the height of COVID-19, when the Good Things Guy inbox was flooded with urgent messages from people needing food, shelter, safety, and support, Tyler created a simple charity list to help people find trusted organisations.

But the need kept growing… and so did that list.

Now, it has become something far bigger.

The Helpers is a searchable directory connecting South Africans who need help with organisations that can provide it... and connecting those who want to help with causes that matter most, from GBV support and food security to education, cancer care and animal welfare.

This platform isn’t about us, it’s about you. The helpers. The heroes. The healers. The people who still believe in showing up for one another.

The Helpers is live. Share it. Use it. And help us connect kindness to action.
