Kempton Watch Tip

Charities we support

Kempton Watch takes no money. If the record moves you to give, these are the organisations we point to: each one helps women and families in Ekurhuleni affected by the kind of violence this site records, and each was spoken to by the site's moderator and checked against the public registers before it was listed. We publish no bank details, ours or theirs: give on the charity's own site or by contacting it.
